I had a Merry Christmas!

I love the holidays. Seeing relatives, eating amazing food, and getting presents are great! I got to see a lot of family from both sides of the tree this year, many of whom on my mother's side I hadn't seen in years because they live in different areas of the country. On Christmas morning, I woke up to find that I had gotten various small gifts and a new printer and a GPS from my parents! Then we drove down to my grandma on my dad's side's house and we had dinner with that side of my family. We took lots of pictures and ate a HUGE meal. We could barely find room to put all of the entrees on the table. I think we ought to regulate the amount of food next year. Then we drove to my great aunt on my mom's side's house and visited with them. It was really enjoyable! I stayed at that house for a couple of days to spend time with them. My cousin and I were going to see a movie with my second cousin but that didn't work out because some of the younger kids needed to be looked after. So, instead, we ladies watched 21 while most of the men played poker in the garage. (I love 21- Jim Sturgess is so cute!) I loved seeing everybody and getting to catch up. Then this morning I went hunting with my dad, uncle, brother, and grandparents on my dad's side. It was fun and we got eight ducks, but my shoulder still hurts from the kick of the gun! All in all, a great week in my book.
