MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!

We had another family Christmas party last night. This party was with the Hanson's. My dad's sister and her family. We always have a blast at this family party, because you never know what to expect. This year, my cousin Melissa and her Hubby decided that we should have Santa come visit all of our the little nieces and nephews (they are my cousin's kids, I don't know what that makes them to me?). So Melissa called up Santa and begged him to come visit all the little kids and you know what? HE CAME!!! It was so fun to see all the little kids so excited to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. (For those of you who don't believe in the Santa anymore... My cousin Melissa's hubby Tyler was the culprit in the Santa suit). We got pictures with all of the kids (well the ones that weren't scared out of their minds) with Santa. They had so much fun. Spencer, the oldest of the kids, kept asking me whether it was Tyler that was dressed as Santa and if it was the "real" Santa. I just kept telling him the Tyler had to go get their presents from his house and he couldn't believe that Tyler missed Santa. A little later Presley (the second eldest child) told Tyler that he sounded exactly like Santa! It was so funny and so much fun to see all the kids enjoying Santa Claus to much. Tyler was a good sport too... taking all the pictures and sitting there with what I assume was an itchy beard.

Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope Santa brought you everything that you could have wanted for Christmas. I love you all and hope you are having a wonderful holiday season, not matter where you are. I am glad that I got to see most of you this year and I hope to see you more throughout 2009! Here are some pictures from the second family party and some of Santa too!!!

This is Santa and his little son Zach... Zach didn't recognize him at all. He was scared out of his wits. After everyone started singing to him and Santa whispered something in his ear, he calmed down a lot. I think he was just a little confused. The second picture is of my aunt sandy and her grand kids with Santa.

The first picture is of Melissa, Santa (Tyler, Melissa's hubby) and their little on Zach. The second is of Byron, Addison (she cried and cried and cried and cried sooo scared) and Annie.

family christmas

We had our family christmas party... the one that I spoke of earlier, on Saturday. It was a good party. My cousin's wife Sarah is having a baby in feburary so we had a shower for her before the party at 2. It was actually a joint wedding shower, because my cousin Clark is getting married on the 27th, so we had a bridal shower for his Fiance Michelle too. Then we went up to my aunt kathy's (she lives behind us) for the actual party. Most everyone that could come came and we had a really good time. laughing and playing bunko... my sister won the annual family blanket that my aunt Suzy makes every year... it is a mickey mouse blanket... so cute. anyway here are some pictures from the day!

Finals

I know I know, it has been sooo long since I have actually posted anything, but it is finals week and I have been swamped. Right now, since I should be working on homework, I am taking a much needed break between articles. They are all so different, but connected and if I don't take a break after each one, I get a HUGE headache. So I am taking a break. I have so much to so, but it is so hard to get started. I think my mind already went on vacation and getting it to concentrate anymore is practically impossible. Anyway, its time to get back to studying. I hope that everyone's holiday season is going great and that everyone's christmas will be amazing! I will be posting more after the 16th... that's when I have to turn in my last paper. WOOOHOOO!!!!

ps good luck to everyone else that is taking finals!!!!!! You will all so great, I know it!!!!
