Christmas... wow, what a two day celebration with new faces and plenty of food! so xmas eve i went with phil to see his dad's side of the family was in awe of how many people could actually fit into a house. we all sat down and ate at the same time, with place settings and everything. i finally got to meet his cousing Mikey, who i hear so much about. then all the aunts and uncles and the cousins... so many cousins... Anyhoo, i had to play my region music... they have this tradition that every grandchild has to play something or do something cute for grandma to recieve his/her presents. anyways, i was made to play and luckily his cousin played the flute and had his region music with him. it was out of tune and sounded horrible to me, but to them, it was beautiful. i love playing music infront of people who don't know what its supposed to sound like because then they don't know if i made a mistake. so then we went to church and i was like, finally some people and quiet. then went back to his other grandma's house and it was just as crazy. unfortunately, i got sick and had to make a quick escape. (feel pretty bad about that) but otherwise it was great. Got some awesome gifts from his family, and a very nice tennis bracelet from him. :) made me happy. Christmas day... so much quieter! went to the aunt terry's and had some awesome food, as always. I have the cutest little brat for a cousin. good intentions, just not disciplined. he fell out of a window a few weeks ago and had 23 stitches in his arm... crazy child. anyways, he was trying to pass out presents and what not and couldn't find out who he was supposed to be going to. he kept going to the wrong people and the only people he trully knew were his mother, his Nana, and his Uncle D,(mothers brother.) He was falling all over himself trying to run back and forth from the tree to the people. =) so cute!! then well, we came back home so i could go to work this morning at 6AM!! insane, i know. well, needless to say i became selfish and bought myself a digital camera with the money i recieved from my parents and grandparents. i like it. it makes me smile. i had way too much fun figuring out what all the settings do... totally uploading more pics later. now i'm off to go eat with my baby. i love him.
