Christmas 2008

Well, what a last 2 days it has been! Christmas this year was much different then in years past. The obvious differences were that there was no Travis, Brandi, Kyle, or Zach. I have to admit it was alot harder than I thought it was going to be. But we still managed to have some good times as well.

Christmas Eve started out with my brother (who spent the night here for 2 nights) and I getting up and packing up mine and Dewy's stuff so that we could go to my parents house and spend the night. We got there pretty early in the day and hung out till it was time to go to my grandparents house to celebrate with them. We had a wonderful dinner followed by a wonderful service at the church's annual Christmas Eve service. I always love going to it. We all went back to the house and opened presents. Once we were all done opening them, some one had the great idea to play Aggravation! This game lasted for over 2 hours!!! And even then it only ended because we all quit! But it was a fun night. But me, Kyle, dad, and mom all went back to there house to go to bed.

This morning started with my brother coming and waking me up at 5 AM! It is tradition to get up and open all the presents that "Santa" left us. Which was even different this year. I got lots of wonderful presents. My parents got me and Travis our very own GPS. It is going to be great for our trip to Disney next year. After we were done, at 7:30. Me and Dewy went and took a nap. We got up at around 10 or so, and packed up and came home. We had unloaded all our stuff from the car and I got ready to go to my Granny's house to celebrate. I went to there house and had a good time visiting and opening presents. I got great presents there to.

Now I am home and Dewy is sleeping on the couch. I have put away most of the presents and are getting ready to hang a couple of things.

This Christmas all in all was a good Christmas. But it was just not the same with out the rest of the family. And it is especially weird to look and see Travis's presents still by the tree. I miss him so much, and can't wait for him to come home and get to open all his presents. And I can't wait to see Brandi, Kyle, and Zach next month!!! I miss them all so much to.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!
