xmas eve - i went to my cousin Joan's house. id never been there before. it was really nice and there was tons of good food: four different types of pierogies (sp), shrimp, venison (sp), sausage lasagne, swedish meatballs, clam chowder with lots of clams, cookies, and all sorts of other stuff. i saw my cousin Stephen whom i had not seen in about 6 years. he is so tall. must be at least 6'5" or taller. also saw my cousin Rob whom i havent seen in since his mom got married 5 years ago and he is 6'3" now. crazy. all my cousins are growing so tall. im going to be the shortest family member in a few years! i got to spend time with my nephews as well. after that i went to my aunt Joyce's house for her 50th birthday party. i visited with my grandmother and played fooseball. also saw my cousin Sasha for the first time in over a year (maybe 2). on the way home i had to take ct-9 which is the deadliest road ever at night because it is PITCH black for like 20 miles. i was so close to being completely asleep and i had my grandmother in the car and i woke up when she told me i ran a red light. yikes. i got home safely though thank goodness.
xmas day - went to my grandmother's house all day. ate pigs in blankets, ham, mashed potatoes, rolls, stuffed mushrooms, lasagne, and chocolate cake. almost totally different food between the two days which is rare. digested, played football with my brothers and cousins for well over an hour, also played family feud with my siblings and cousins. overall just relaxed and had fun all day. oh and i got about $100 in unnecessary monetary gifts from family members. my cousin Lydia also got my grandmother a deluxe scrabble game so we are going to be livin' large while playing scrabble from now on. rotating board and everything! haha.
