Merry Christmas

So it's Christmas! Yea!!! :D I love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday. Nummy food, friends, family, presents! It's just great. This year was a really great one. Yesterday we had our traditional Christmas eve dinner. We started doing it on Christmas Eve when I was pretty young because we always spent Christmas day traveling to my Grandma's house. After dinner we all took care of a bunch of last minute details and then we went to temple square to look at all the pretty lights. My ring was supposed to be done yesterday but Zac had me convinced that they hadn't called yet so I was kinda bummed out about that. This morning I woke up to some pretty great gifts! Santa Claus brought me my new phone! It's the Palm Pixi. I LOVE it!!! :) It just makes me so happy. Santa also brought me a new book! It's called the People Code by Dr. Taylor Hartman. I had it checked out from the library and was obsessed with it so I'm pretty happy about that. Then we all opened our gifts from one another. I got my ring from Zachary. :) It was a great Christmas Morning surprise. Tavin gave me makeup (woohoo!!! :D), my mom and dad got me a bracelet and a shirt. Zac gave my family a game called Phase 10 Twist and although we haven't played it yet I'm pretty excited. My aunt Laura drew my parents names for the family drawing this year and when she asked what my parents wanted I just told her the two things they had both been talking about. A camera for my mom and dishes for my dad. They couldn't believe it when they opened them! It was great. Tavin got pretty much all jeans. At least a pair from all of us. I'm guessing some of them will go back but at least he has some now! He's been pretty desperate. After all that Zac and I went to his family's house. It was pretty fun. A lot different though! I ended up with a dog bite, you know, I've never gotten bitten by a dog before, but it hurts!! I still have a welt. :( Other than that, it was a lot of fun. I got new shampoo! And a blanket! And nummy candy! It was great. After that we went to Zac's apartment to put away everything and play with our new toys. We started watching O Brother Where Art Thou because his roommate Scotty had given it to him, but I fell asleep about a half hour in. Oops! After I had woken up I came home to spend the rest of the day with my family. But then my mom and dad left so she could go play with her new camera. LOL. Oh well. :) We're leaving tomorrow to head up to see the rest of my family in Pocatello. It should be a lot of fun, and I'll get to see my uncle Robert and all of his family for the first time in quite awhile. (They were living in Texas and just moved to Arizona). I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!
