I know I'm really slow, and very late, but I didn't want to skip right through everything that is happening in 2009 without doing a Christmas post. Its been a busy few months. I was so able to go to Arizona and see my family (Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins unfortunately my immediate family couldn't be there this year) for Thanksgiving. I spent Thanksgiving day and a couple days after with them. I flew down with Ryan and Whitney's family. I spent the nights with his family, and the days with my family. It was so much fun. We made lots of food, ate lots of food, played games, and had a great time. Its nice to know that I can grow up, and things are going to change for me, but my family stays the same. Everyone gets older and starts going their own way, but the love we have for each other never changes. No matter how old we are, we can all get together and laugh and have a great time. I surprised my Grandparents when I knocked on my Aunt and Uncle's door Thanksgiving morning. I was overwhelmed with the love my Grandparents have for me. It felt so good to be with them again. Unfortunately, I didn't get a whole lot of pictures at Thanksgiving, so I may have to bug the Aunts and see if they got any.
Once I got home from Arizona, I was home for 2 weeks and then flew home for Christmas. I spent 10 days at home with my family. Again, it was great to be home and spend time with them. Christmas just isn't the same anywhere but home. I was able to see and spend time with Rachel and Dorothy
They came and we gave each other presents, and then went to the store, and grabbed some food. It would have been nice to be able to do more with them, but Christmas time is hard with every one's busy schedules.
I also got to see Kendra and Doug. I went to their house and we made pizza. Doug called his friend Cody, and had him come over so he didn't have to be the only man in the house ;). Cody got there, and was hungry, so we went down the street to Dee's for breakfast at 11 and some hot Chocolate. It was so fun. Kendra's house is so cute. She is going to be such a cute Mom! (Somehow the camera was not out this night either. . . GRRR!)
Other than that, I spent time with my family, we played games, went shopping and baked a lot :) I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends, and even better an amazing family that has always been there for me. I love you all!
