I hope everyone had a
I hope everyone had a FANTABULOUS Christmas. I sure did! Christmas Eve was wonderful. Both sets of grandparents came, my aunt and uncle and their two kids, Emmie and Erin, and my other aunt who is living with them right now. We sang carols, had a treasure hunt, had dinner, and then we went to the candellight church service, which was soooo pretty.
Then yesterday was nice as well. I got a new CD player which plays three CD's. Woohoo!! Very exciting. Heehee. I also got a Diskman, so this was the year for CD players, apparently. My sister was the most evil of all. I unwrapped her package and there were 4 smaller wrapped packages in there. I open one, and it's Patricia Cornwell's The Body Farm, which I had bought when we were in England before freshman year. But I thought she didn't know I had it, so I was all "Oh, yes! Patricia Cornwell! I have something to read on the cruise!" Then I opened the next one, which was the X-Files book Whirlwinds. Now I thought I'd had that one, too, but I knew I hadn't read it, and I wasn't sure which X-Files books I had. So I acted all happy and said "Woohoo! More cruise reading!" Then I opened the next one... a worn copy of The Shining. At that point I was like "I have this. This is mine!" and Jess burst out laughing. The other two had looked new. Well, Whirlwinds WAS new because I hadn't ever read it. So I opened the fourth present and it was a guide to Orlando that Mary (a woman I worked with at Civiltech) had given me before I went to Florida. So this time I said "And this was Mary's Christmas present to me two years ago!" By this point, Jess can't contain her laughter. So I'm all confused... and she's like "There's one more thing in the box." UNDER all the tissue is this one little piece of paper folded up. It's got a picture of *NSYNC (actually one I played with in PSP... lol) and it says "For your Christmas present, these guys want to do something special for you... They want to give you a membership to their fan club." Woohoo!! So all in all, it was a great gift. But dude, she was MEAN about it. Lol. I was soooo confused and trying my darndest to be gracious and happy about gifts I'd already read. Lol.
So anyway, after that we went to my aunt's house for dinner (lunch) and it was the first time my dad's entire family has been together in years. All five kids and their families (well, only three kids have families... the other two are divorced with no children) and both parents. So that was nice. And then we went to see Ocean's Eleven, which was pretty good. Lots of good people in it. Casey Aflek... he's hot. Lol. So, yay! Good Christmas!! I hope everyone's was nice as well. =)
