Christmas Eve: On Christmas Eve, Emily and I got to dance at the nursing home; Mother Josephs. We get to give them a dance performance and then we get to give the ones that came to watch a rose and talk to them for a little bit. That is my favorite part, they get so excited when someone wants to talk to them. When I first started dancing, this really freaked me out and I hated it, now it is something I look forward to!
From there, we all went over to Westport to visit my Grandma, Uncle Todd and Uncle Scott. When we arrived we recieved some exciting news! My Uncle Todd was going to get married to his girl friend Coral! So welcome to the family Coral! We ate and ate and ate and ate.... did I mention that we ate ALOT? It was a fun filled evening with lots of laughter and food!
Arent we just adorable?
Wits and Wagers, a new fun trivia game that was played many times that day!
This is my new favorite picture, we were talking about how to make a monkey face, and then my mom said that we should teach our Grandma. And Grandma Jill MASTERED the monkey face. Way to go Grandma!
Uncle Todd and Coral.
Then, CHRISTMAS DAY! Christmas is one of the best days EVER. No questioning it. I mean, come on... waking up in your new pajamas that you recieved the night before, bursting with excitment and playing games in your room with you sibbling while waiting for your parents to come up and tell you that you can go down stairs, opening gifts, and celebrating the birth of your savior... ya, just doesnt get any better then that!
Ready to go in our new pajamas!
Really long story behind this one, and if I explain it, I think my mom will kill me, so all I am going to say is "SPEAR-MINT"
YIPPEE! An iPod Touch! THANKS Mom and Dad!
A yummy pastry for Christmas morning!
For the rest of the day we played around with our new things and just took it easy. Then, around 5 o'clock, we had an open house for friends and we had lots of desserts! So much fun, not many pictures of the people or food, but all I have to say is that it was so fun to see your friends at the end of a fun-filled day and just hang out and laugh.
Before I begin telling you of the biggest surprise of all that happened on Christmas day, let me give you some background on how it all happened.
We have some amazing cousins, the Thomas cousins. We rarley get to see our cousins, but when we do.... WHAT A TREAT! They live all the way up in Bellingham... bummer. And on Christmas day, I was texting Kaisha and joking about how she should come all the way down and join us for our open house thingy. And then, after much talking-through-texting Kaisha got the thumbs up from her parents and let her come down and stay the night! We were all so excited to see her! She made the long drive up to come and hang out with us! It was the best thing anyone could have done, we hung out, watched movies, stayed up till 2:30 am talking about nothing important, intorduced her to our friends, took her to Olive Garden, and took silly webcam photos. Thanks so much Kaisha for coming up! WE LOVE YOU!
You might not find these pictures very funny, but thats okay, I find them hilarious!
LOVE YOU KAISHA!
This may be blurry, but look at Kaisha's neck! It is so long and skinny!
ya, are dorks!
Oh, webcam....
Yes, we are just THAT AWESOME!
So these past 3 days have been ones that I will remember for a very long time.
