Finally!!

So I know it's taking me forever to post my Christmas post, but here it is. I have just been really busy and trying to learn some things.

First I will tell you about the weekend, I went to visit my grandma on Friday with my brother and his GF. That was nice, seeing her and spending some time with her before the holiday. Saturday is OUR day. We do presents that night and it's pretty much our Christmas. We never do much on the actual Christmas Day. Our tradition for food is that we always just eat a bunch of appetizers instead of a big meal with ham or whatever. So right before we were about to do presents, my brother gets a phone call about my grandma not doing well and was in the ER. That kinda put us in a weird mood for the night, in addition to this being our first Xmas without Bobby Mittens. He was an amazingly special cat of ours that passed away a couple months ago. We had him for a long time and he loved playing in the wrapping paper and ribbons. I miss him SO much!! I don't want to say too much about it because it makes me really sad but my brother and his GF got my mom a purse as one of her presents and they had a picture of Bobby's face put on it. Let me just say, it was definitely a moment for the family.

 

*cough, cough* On a lighter note...

Sunday, my aunt and cousins came over and played games.

(BTW, my grandma is doing fine and back at her regular nursing home) 

Here is one of the many peace symbols displayed in the Xmas lights in the Fabulous 40s area downtown. I thought it was really awesome!


And the main reason I have been taking so long to put this blog up...

I got a camera!! .....And I am trying to figure out how to use it and get the hang of it. (Not to mention I couldn't use it the first night because it needed batteries we didn't have, then when we got batteries, it needed to get a memory card - so it took a while.)

(Gift from Momma)


Found this at Kohl's recently for my camera.
 
On to my other prezzies...

  5. hahaha! I just couldn't shake the feeling! What did your mom say?? Did she have a poker face about it? :)

    When I cut my hair the lady helping me curled it with a wand. It looked easy to use but I definitely recommend using the glove at the beginning, cos it looks like it can burn ! lol But it also took a really long time, and I probably have half or a quarter of the hair you do! It will come out so beautiful with your long hair!!!
