Christmas 2010

This Christmas dad asked me what I had wanted for christmas. All I could think of was clothes, since I have lost weight I have been needing some clothes, so when he told me that I could just go shopping, I was excited! Shopping around christmas time is not the funnest thing to do, all the traffic and the parking lots were horrible. But after a couple days of shopping, I was finally done, wrapped everything and have been cleaning up the house for my parents; one of their christmas presents from me. I am so grateful for a lot of things, especially this time of year, I love getting into the whole christmas mood and giving to others. Every year my family does a secret santa and this year we did it for my dad's friend. I love the feeling you get after dropping the presents off at the house, and the smiles on their faces. This year was different than usual, we as always have a family party on christmas eve but this year it was at uncle Jim's house which by the way is beautiful and so full of love. The grandparents are getting too old and have for the past two years been leaving real early. Great grandma Bowen is still here with us and it was a pleasure to spend it here with her. Christmas day as usual we wake up, dad and mom make breakfast and we eat it before we open presents. Right after we open our presents and get ready to go to grandpa Gee's in the back. Our family this year got a new 32" flat screen t.v. which Nathan seems to think is his, since he is always playing his x-box on it. Lindsey's big present was her Mac book, which she seems to enjoy having. I'm getting really excited because Nick seemed to have a great christmas as well with his family although he did not tell me what he got, he is coming up on tue. and wants to show me, so i'm excited to see what he got. I've been counting down the days til he comes, I miss his company and the way he makes me laugh, so I can't wait til tue. Today we got our christmas snow, yesterday we didn't get anything, so i'm glad that it is snowing. So far this break has been good, spending it with family and friends. I'm so grateful for everything I have and can't wait til this new year, and for what it will bring.
