And another thing..
Yesterday/last night- Some family from my mom's side came over our house. This was interesting because most of them hadn't been over in YEARS AND YEARS...
It was great. Joey only got to meet a couple of them but I was really happy to see my cousin and I talked with my Uncle Bud more than I ever have in my whole life combined. I felt like an adult.. I don't know if you know what I mean but.. in my family.. at Christmas time or at any family get-together, adults hang with the adults and the kids hang with the kids. I feel like I've crossed this giant line where I can hold conversations with the adults talking about things I'm interested in. They brought presents too. I got a scarf and some candy. I haven't gotten presents from relatives really in a quite some time. My aunt & uncle stayed really late and so did my cousin. I was happy my other uncle Jim came. His wife passed away about a month ago (my mom's sister) so it's important for him to know that we still want to see him and that he still has us. I feel great about all of that.
And is the picture mentioned in the previous entry along with another..
I'm the shorter, fat one.. with jumbo cheeks.
I was only a couple months old but had 4 teeth and a bunch of hair :)
My hair is naturally curly.. didn't you know??
That one's at my aunt Susan's/grandpa's house.
