Of course I couldn't go without blogging about Christmas, and this one was definitely wonderful. Christmas Eve consisted of amazing food and family, wrapping 'til 1 a.m., laughing over (dumb) things with my big sis, and much more. Christmas day was just as wonderful! I was definitely spoiled. Santa must love me. One of my favorite gifts was being able to Skype my missionary sister who is over in Scotland (for 5 more weeks!!) We chatted for nearly two hours. Uh...okay, so some of us were super tired and may have drifted off at some point during our chat...but it was still just as great! She is very much looking forward to coming home, and I suppose we are excited to have her home. Just a little excited. Did I mention she returns on my birthday?
This evening, we enjoyed an adorable movie based on one of my favorite books as a child: "Flipped." Totally cute! I'm just a sucker for those love stories. Afterwards, naturally, we ate some more delicious food (shrimp included! yeessss) and then the games began. The Christmas Minute-To-Win-It games. Boy, did we look like fools. That was the best part! We all had a blast joining in on tossing ping-pong balls into peanut buttered toast, moving cookies down our faces 'til they reached our mouths (ahem, I dominated that one), and balancing bolts, just to name a few. We Migs sure know how to party.
I'd have to say it was a successful holiday. I am so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people that I get to call family. It's amazing that a year can fly by so quickly! And what a great year it was.
Well, my wisdom teeth get yanked from my head on Monday, so I may disappear for awhile. I mean, would anyone want to read posts about who-knows-what written while I'm heavily medicated? You're right. That could be pretty funny...
