^^^^^^Christmas^^^^^^^New Year^^^^^^
Okay, I know that I should have wrote this earlier, but I have bean really, really busy. So, I am really sorry about not posting anything new lately.
Christmas Eve ^^^^^ My dad and I had to go out on Christmas Eve morning because we had a lot of food to pick up at Wiseway. When we got there it took the people at least 15 minutes to find out that our food, that we had pre-ordered over the phone, wasn't there. So they told us to go to the other Wiseway that is 15 minutes from that store. Then we went there and they told us that they didn't have it ether. They did have it, they just had a hard time finding it. So we got our food and went home. We then packed the car and went to my grandparents (my dad's parents) home. My mom got sick so she didn't go.=( We had a pretty good time, though. My uncle Jack and his wife, my cousin Adam and his wife (Jack's son), and my aunt Pat was there. My uncle Larry didn't come because he was having my Grandparents over the day after Christmas. My uncle Jim didn't come because he lives in California, but he did call and wish us all a Marry Christmas. My uncle Dave ( my dad's brother) was flying up from Florida the next week (I think at least).
We got home around 11:30 p.m. and we opened all are stocking gifts. The dogs and cat had a stocking, too. Simba had cat nip in his stocking. He got really funny. Matt and Kristy, (my older brother and his wife) and Kevin (Kristy little brother) came. It was a lot of fun!!
Christmas ^^^^^^^ Matt and Kristy were there first, then my uncle Dave, Grandma Maple, Amanda, Amara and last, Becky, Adam, Seth, and Abe. It was great and I am kinda sad that it is over. Every one brought presents for everyone else, so we were opening presents foreverrrrrrrrrr . Amanda got a Guitar from my Grandma. I also got one from her. My grandma also gave Amara a Keroke machine. I don't remember what everyone else got. The one thing this Christmas was missing was snow. There was so many presents that it was crazy (that picture doesn't over exaggerate it.) We didn't have a big home cooked meal (we usually only do that for Thanksgiving). We got food from Wiseway, like "a really big veggie platter, a really big meat platter, lots of deserts , Hawaiian bread, and the best thing of all, Punch and sparkling grape juice. My Grandma did bring some food that she had made.
Later that night, Matt, Uncle Dave, and dad played Poker with this really nice set my brother got for Christmas (they didn't play for real money). My uncle Dave won. Amanda and I went to the gym and joked around with Amara's Keroroke machine. It was a lot of fun plus we were really goofy when it got close to 5:00 A.M. We set the video camera up and got it all on tape. We stayed up till 5:30.
My cousins stayed for a few days but I wish they could have stayed more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! While they were here they went to the pound and bought a cat for their mom for Christmas. I haven't seen them since they went home so I wonder how it went. They were supposed to come last weekend, but Amanda got sick.
New Year^^^^^^ We didn't do anything special for New Years. We saw the movie, Night at the Museum, and it was good. I also saw Eragon last weekend and it was OK. I guess I was excepting more from it. The thing that made me really mad with it was............... Wait you might not have seen it yet so I will shut up about it, just don't get over excited about it until you see it, and you will probably love it. My favorite movie is XMen. Do any of you like that movie??
So that was my Christmas and New Year (I am really tired so I am sorry for the poor writing). If you feel like it, tell me what your Christmas and New Year was like.
Here are some pictures of people in my family at Christmas.
