I don't have alot to say, except that I had such a wonderful Christmas this year. What made it wonderful was not the presents, cards and candy... but instead the quality time I had with my family remembering Christ's birth. To start out this wonderful Holiday weekend I spent Christmas eve night with my parents! It was awesome!! We got Chinese food and watched a lifetime Christmas movie... which is two of my favorite things :) . Then we watched the Mo-Tab sings some songs on a dvd we had, and then after that we watched a movie called "The Nativity Story" which we own, but never watched.
It was a really good movie, and a wonderful reminder of what happened so long ago. I liked it because it goes deeper in depth of how Mary being pregnant at that time was not culturally acceptable and what a hardship the people of the land were going through. It helped me to realize all the hardships that came along with Jesus's birth, which really made it the humblest of circumstances. Mostly it helped me to remember the details I had forgotten.

The next part of my wonderful Christmas weekend was Christmas day. My parents and I woke up(they got dressed and I stayed in my PJs :) ), and opened our stockings. I even got the traditional stairs picture we use to always take. Then had a yummy breakfast of caramel/orange rolls and crepe type omelets... way good ps. We opened our presents and I got this way cool animal print trench-coat with awesome turquoise buttons. I also got a warm/pink blanket for my bed, and a few other really neat things like boots!!
Then to make the day super fun, my mom got the game Just dance 2. I really thought people were lying when they said it was fun, but I actually had a really good time playing. Talk about a workout! I figure if I do that everyday, I'll be in good shape. I got to play it several times through the day with my family members. Brittany kicked my trash, and it was funny to watch Julie and dad dance to the bollywood duet song. Oh it was a hoot! It really made me grateful to have such a wonderful family. It was so awesome to see all my siblings during this week. Lets just hope I do not get sick with all the illness running around the fam! (knock on wood!) Well I'm not sure what else to say except...
Merry Christmas!! We'll see you in the new year!! I hope its a good one!!
