"christmas bells are ringing..."
okay, so christmas was really great. we spent the morning here, then off to my grandma's where everyone was and amanda was actually really nice this year. we talked for awhile, and it seriously was great. then we went to my aunt cheri's house where we hung out before heading to my mom's cousin erin's. my mom's cousin katie = hilarious. oh, and my second cousin kevin... is on the cheerleading squad. and it amazing. apparently, he thought it would be really funny to try out, and he ended up making it. he did some tricks, and it was HILARIOUS. especially because he is like mike kiminski's clone. it's so weird. they talk and act the same (in mannerisms, not joining cheerleading participation). but, seriously, christmas was just fun because so many gifts just reminded me of people. i got a book of sudoko puzzles, which made me think of katie, a billy joel box set (DEE!), a gift certificate to chili's (um, darge, we're going... like soon), and craig, i so got a pair of happy feet. and, yeah, somebody's going to the mall with me soon so i can spend my five million gift certificates... which are residing in my new wallet. i'm so stupid for losing mine. BUT I FOUND MY KEYS. yeah, they were in a bag with the gifts that i had to wrap... so, yeah, i'm an idiot. times about a million. but, i'm talking to mandy jo, so i'm going to focus my attention on that. love you all!
