Christmas is Over

Just a quick update on how my holiday went. Christmas Eve was amazing. We drove up to running springs, to my aunt and uncles house, as per tradition. It was freezing cold and there was so much snow! We were even lucky enough to have it snow while we were there. We had our traditional fare of enchiladas and tamales. And of course, since we're all old enough now, the alcohol was flowing. it was this fact that prompted Sarah (a friend currently living with my family) and I to join in with my younger cousins to sing Karaoke that claimed it was Disney, but songs that we have never heard before. We drove down around midnight and upon arriving home, wrapped a few last minute presents before collapsing into bed.

I always wake up super early on Christmas morning, and this year was no different, but after awakening at 5:30 am, I made myself go back to sleep. I continued to wake up every 30 minutes until about 8 and I made my way downstairs about 9. It was a lot different this year, with me being the only kid at home. Ben didn't arrive until around 10, Steve didn't show up until after noon, and Kelly was too busy in England to stop by, haha. We all opened presents and ate our traditional cinnamon roll breakfast.

For dinner that night we had our usual Italian food, this year going for Ravioli. Steven ended up leaving really early. The cousins didn't stop by until really late, but we did manage to get a round of Trivial Pursuit in, as well as a round of Wii. I ended the night hanging out with Drew and watching the new Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.....ummm, amazing!

It seems so strange to me that 2009 is almost here. I'm not ready for a new year! I don't even know what I'm going to do for New Years Eve!
