Christmas is fun!

Sorry I haven't had the chance to update, I was out of town at mah grandparent's house for our fambly christmas! Well, my mom's side. My dad's side is later. I had to go straight from my band concert up to their house in Prentice, Wisconsin (it's TINY and 3 hours away). We got there 'round midnight. I ended up being crazy with my sis, and my two cousins Chris and Terra. Chris growed! He's 15 and a Junior (damn his smartness) but there was something wrong with his heart, so he wouldn't grow. He got surgery about a year ago and now he's growing! YAY! (I'm still taller... heehee) It was really late when we went to sleep, but it was 7:30 when my little cousin Zac decided to jump on me. Terra, Jo, Chris and I did a 500 peice puzzle, then played tag outside (it was fricken' freezing) with my other cousins Savannah, Spencer, Paige, Jordan and Lauren. Then we did crafts! (we do them EVERY year) This year was HATS. Trucker-style baseball caps that we were to decorate with ribbon, fabric-paint, markers, glitter and buttons. I chose to do a henna-style.... thing. I'll put a picture up later. It's actually pretty awesome. Then we all went CAROLING! By then my OTHER cousin Greg had joined us. He's in college and he's crazy. He stole my pretty hat and wore it basically the entire day. He wants me to make one for him. We ate dinner the whole lot of us in my grandparent's basement, and then we did our ornament exchange (another tradition) and then presents. I got some cool stuff... :D Then the adults did their thing, and us big-kids had to make sure the little-kids didn't kill themselves. Eventually they calmed down, and we were able to play Risk. That game RULES. We went to the hotel at about midnight (thank god for hotels and silence) and then got up at about 9 to get back to the party! WOO! I didn't have to go to church, so we resumed our game of Risk. I actually did pretty well considering how I normally do... heehee. After a while we left.

It was a fun and weird weekend. I didn't get ANY homework done, and there were a few stupid things I did I regret now. Such as: Not shutting up when I was talking to my cousin Sarah about fetusi...futuses? (She's pregnant and was showing me her ultrasound pics), babying my cousin Zac while helping him put together his new Bionicle, not having come backs to Greg, trying to show-up Chris by bragging about stuff, generally bragging about stuff, trying to start games with the little kids, not getting to talk to everyone... there are a few other things... but hey. It's in de past!

My grandparents are getting really old... they're moving to assisted-living. It's sad to think about, but it's inevitable.

What's really scary about this journal is that I didn't name all my cousins who were there.... and there were lots of adults there too.
