CHRISTMAS!!!
Happy birthday Jesus! ^___^
Just got home from church, and haven't started on the family visits yet.
Last night we had Dad's family (Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Steve and Auntie Vange) over, and we watched the Carols by Candelight and exchanged presents. Normally we do presents on Christmas Day, but then normally we go to Grandma and Grandpa's - this year, we're going to Steve and Vange's, and all of Vange's family are coming too. And her family don't normally do presents on Christmas Day, so we aren't either.
Present tally so far:
- Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories from Grandma and Grandpa - stayed up until almost 2:00 last night playing it. ^_^;;;
- $30 from Steve and Vange (because they weren't sure what DVD I wanted)
- "Inside Narnia: A Guide to Exploring The Lion, the With and the Wardrobe" and a wallet from Jacqui and Pete
- from Mum and Dad: a 1500-piece puzzle, a calendar, a necklace, a sewing-box, chocolate, and a set of 60 Faber-Castell pencils. The pencils were a real pleasant surprise - I'd mentioned to Mum the other week that I was wanting them but wasn't sure that I wanted to pay that much for them (they're $170!), not in the slightest expecting that she'd buy them for me! But yeah, so that's really cool. ^___^
Well, all this stuff should keep me occupied for quite a while... ^__^
