CHRISTMAS!!

As most of you know, we just barely celebrated Christmas! This year, my Christmas holiday was pretty sweet. On Christmas Eve, our family and my cousins on my dad's side went up to Midway (next to Heber) to my Grandma and Grandpa's house. First we ate these super-duper huge sandwiches, did like a little talent-show thingy, opened up one gift from my grandparents and cousin's, and played in the snow. As we drove home, we sang loud Christmas songs and talked.
Once we got home, we couldn't wait to open our p.j's. It's like a tradition that every year on Christmas Eve we get pajamas. When I opened mine, they were lime green fuzzy Chip and Dale p.j. bottoms with a lime green t-shirt that says PEACE. Then we watched the old Christmas Carol on t.v. which was boring. After that me and my brothers wanted to watch a Christmas Story (which is like my favorite movie) but our parents made us go to bed. I slept on the couch in the basement with my two little brothers, Mason and Tyler. To tell you the truth, I got to bed quite easily.

In the morning at 6:00 am, (I was so excited!) my bros and I ran upstairs. All of the gifts were in the living room, but there are sheets to cover up the doorways so you can't see inside. We ran down the long hallway into my parents' bedroom. I guess though they were up till 4:00 in the morning setting up all the things that Santa brought. So they had us wait downstairs for two WHOLE more hours. We waited anxiously at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for the clock to turn 8:00. And finally, it did. We scurried back upstairs, but this time we woke up my 16 year old brother, Zac. We all ran back into my Mom and Dad's room, and they got out of bed. We also got my sis Ellie, and we went into the living room!! And guess what me and our family got? Well first, our family got a ping pong table a whole bunch of movies, and some Wii games! And as for me, an orange iPod nano, two tickets to see Wicked (the musical) with my mom, a camera, a picture printer, scrapbooking stuff, jewrey, clothes, a Webkinz monkey, the book Candy Shop War, a pink basketball, a Paint by Numbers, the David Archuleta, Jason Mraz, and Sara Barelas CD, a LOT of Fun Dip, (MMM!!) candy, candy, and candy. We stayed in our p.j.s all day, (like we usually do) and had a wonderful Christmas!!!

That sounds like fun! On Christmas our whole family didn't wake up till 9:00! (crazy!) Usually we go see what Santa brought at least at 7:00

maybe it's because we went to bed so late. (at least 2:00)
