The Holidays

We had a great holiday season. We were lucky to have two Thanksgivings. The first was with my Dad and most of my siblings and my Dad's wife and her family. We
celebrated the weekend before Thanksgiving. The second was with my sister Andrea and her family on Thanksgiving. It was nice to have somewhere to go on the actual holiday, because lets be honest... I can't cook a turkey.

I was excited to hear that my sister Cynthia and her family were coming to visit from Texas for Christmas. They got here just in time for Christmas. We had our cute apartment all decked out in holiday decor and our beautiful tree to help us feel the Christmas spirit. The Sunday before we had a family Christmas party and that was fun. For Christmas Eve we spent some time at my sisters and then went home to be with each other. We exchanged one present with each other which was P.J.'s. I got soft pink ones that have an ice skating penguin. Will's has skiing polar bears. The next day I woke Will up by jumping on the bed saying "Its Christmas, it's Christmas". We were so happy to see that Santa had come to visit. Some of my favorite gifts were a big pink my little pony ( I had asked for a pony- who'd have thought) and Rainbow Bright the t.v. show on DVD. For Will it was moccasins and an electric keyboard. We had a great time opening presents and spending time together. It was a great day. Throughout the day we went to visit family. It was a great Christmas and we didn't want the day to end. My sister was in town for about another week so I tried to spend a lot of time with them. It was so fun to see my niece and nephew react to the snow. My nephew hasn't seen snow in so long that he doesn't remember and my niece has never seen snow. It was so fun playing in the snow and watching them sled.
I was afraid New Years would suck. Will had to work and I was afraid we wouldn't see each other at midnight. I spent the evening with a few of my sisters playing games and watching weird t.v. shows. It was a miracle- Will made it to my sisters house at about 11:57. I was so happy and relieved, I got my New Years kiss. What a great way to start off the new year.
