Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I was going to post earlier but I wanted to include a picture of my family from today so I figured I would wait until tonight when I could upload the pictures.
It was great being with my family today--mom and I spent some time setting up this morning and went to the cemetery to visit grandma and grandpa. My brother, sister-in-law, sister, and brother-in-law came over and we opened presents. Only I would be thrilled to receive the complete set of the Full House shows (my siblings made fun of me haha); and I asked for a bunch of books (I know, a little nerdy but oh well I can't wait to read them)! But, my favorite book and one of my favorite gifts was Ballerina Dreams--the true story of five little girls who have Cerebral Palsy but always dreamt of being ballerinas and they finally had the chance..."[they] did it!" (The first link is the news broadcast and video clips of it and the second link is the actual book.) My siblings and I gave our parents tickets to see Jersey Boys on Broadway; they've been dying to see the show but it's so hard to get tickets...so now they're going in October 2008!
Then the rest of the day was filled with tons of eating (shocker), watching Elf (it sort of has become tradition), and just spending time together which I love!
Hope everyone else had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday and takes some time to spend with family at this important time of year!
