Along with the best Christmas Eve!!
We had Christmas dinner (I had cucumber pizza, as for everyone else, turkey.) and then all ganged up in our cars to drive around the city and look at Christmas lights on people's houses!
In our car, it was me, my aunt Jennifer, her 10 year old daughter Paige, and my 10 year old brother Drew.
I don't know how this all came up, but we thought it would be funny to teach the kids what a Chinese Fire Drill is, and do it at random stop signs and red lights. So we pulled our car in front of the ones with the rest of our family in them and preformed our routine and it turned out to be hilarious to see the little ones laugh and run uncontrollably around a car as fast as they could and run into each other. Oh, it was hilarious. Every time. Hahahah, we deemed it a new (cool people in the)family tradition!
We came home and talked about Jesus' birth and watched the season's Mormon Messages.
On Christmas morning, everyone showed up at the house at 7:30 and we opened presents until 10:30! Talk about a big family!
After we all dispersed and ooooed and ahhhhed at our gifts, my best friend and I had our Christmas hangs!
Allison Bryant has been my best friend for 13 years and we didn't let me moving end our friendship!
We actually went to the very place where our friendship was birthed, the Dr. Phillips Elementary School playground.
There we swamy and talked and caught up with each other while also reminiscing about when we were in primary school with each other.
Who liked who, what pretend games we used to play on what pieces of playground equipment, it was moving at the same time as we talked about our worries for college and how we will be graduating in only five months.
Time goes by like crazy, and I'm so grateful for our friendship that have lasted us our whole lives.
After that, we went to Starbucks and I enjoyed my nice peppermint HOT CHOCOLATE, lol, and then we went to another playground at our secret place I can not reveal over the Internet. We found a ratty soccer ball and played a cute pick up passing game.
Soon the day ended and the next day came.
The day after Christmas, we got up at 6 AM to go shopping.
I got Christmas gifts for Noah and really super cute pairs of Forever21 earrings, for me of course! I really didn't have much luck shopping for me! I found everything on my Orlando Shopping List that I had been building up (because the shopping back home and even in Savannah is a suckfest) but found everything in every other size but mine. My most treasured find was a pair of corduroy wine coloured skinny jeans, that were on sale for $13.99 that came in every size but mine. A crying shame, I tell you.
I found everything perfectly for Noah though, and that is really what I needed this trip! It's only one more week till I see him! Words can not express my happiness and overwhelming excitement!
Now I'm blogging from the passenger seat of our fully loaded van and we're on our way back to Georgia. I still have so many things to do! Good Christmas, good Christmas, and I hope yours was, too!:D
