My, was this Christmas Christmas-y. On Christmas Eve I got to go over to my Uncle Paul's in Waterford to see my dad's side of the family, which was tons of fun. My little cousin Declan is four, and he's insanely cute. "Manda!!! Where's Carli? How did you get here?!! *runs and hugs me*". It was good and there was family and food (yay for pierogi/pirohy [romanized spelling/Polish spelling]) and gifts and rain!! Well, maybe the rain wasn't quite so exciting.
Then my mom came and picked me up at nine that night to take me home so I could spend Christmas morning here with her and Roy and John. Which was fun, except for the John coming to wake me up at an unholy hour. (Yes, 6:45 is an unholy hour, now that I've been at college.) And now I have books! Booksbooksbooksbooksbooks!!!! Yay! Three guesses what I've been doing most of yesterday and today.
Oh! And I got a reply to my e-mail to Sylvana! For those who don't know, she was a German exchange student at Davison last year, and a good friend. I found her e-mail address and wrote her, cos I hadn't heard from her since she left. And it turns out she's still alive! Yay!
And I want to go sing...and I can cos I'm babysitting at the moment. Hmmm...I shall now go annoy the neighbors with my musicality. Happy Christmas everybody!!
