Christmas!

Oh, it was a good day.

We do most of our Christmas celebrating on Christmas Eve so yesterday there was a lot of baking, cooking and eating. Mommy and I made fudge and some cookies and put together some fudge plates for the neighbors.

Then we decorated the tree and ate dinner, which was followed by the opening of our Christmas Eve pjs. Mine were Hello Kitty. : )


Then we watched White Christmas and Melissa fell asleep.

So after that we "went to bed" with the alarm set for 6 a.m. This morning we woke up and made the attempt to get my parents out of bed. Mommy got up but Daddy took a while so eventually we were able to open up our stockings.

My little hippos stocking was full of a cute necklace with a saying about sisters (Melissa got one to), a Visa gift card, Barnes & Noble gift card, Starbucks card and M&Ms. Good times. Then we went over to the living room and tree for some present opening. I got a blue 8GB iPod Nano (sweet), Clinique Happy Heart perfume gift set (smells so good), a sweater from Melissa, an awesome blue leather purse and to top it all off...a cashmere sweater! I've wanted one for a very long time and it is awesome.

Mommy got the porch swing she had wanted and Daddy got a sweet camp hat with a light in the front.


And the rest of the day will be spent watching movies and eating lots of awesome left overs. Sparkling Apple Cider!

Home: Car accidents and shopping

Well, I've been home for almost six days and I have yet to have some free time. I guess it's a good thing because it means I have a lot of friends who want to spend time with me. I do hope it will slow down a little and that there will not be any more car accidents.

Yes, one of my friends was in a pretty bad car accident while on her way to hang out with another friend and I. She's doing okay now but we spent about four hours in the waiting room of the ER Friday night, making sure she was going to actually be able to see a doctor and be okay. Her car is totaled and she has six staples in the back of her head and her arm's in a sling, but she's alive.

Other than that there's been a lot of hanging out and talking and, of course, a lot of shopping. Yesterday we bought all of Mommy's Christmas presents, today will be for Daddy and there were a few mall trips before that.

Yesterday, Sasha and I got all crafty and went to Michael's and spent the afternoon making little bugs and flowers out of pipe cleaners and goggly eyes. We used the Hello Kitty Activity Book as our guide.

And then tomorrow is Christmas Eve! There are already so many presents under the tree and Mommy and I are going to start the baking today. It will be good times and I promise pictures!
