christmas

so it was our first christmas as a family of four. mixed feelings really. my dad did all the shopping, and figureing out what we wanted. way less gifts under the tree. but for some reason, it felt so right. he was so worried that he didn't do well, that we didn't get what we wanted or that nothing would fit, or we didn't have enough. but we woke up that morning to find the perfect amount of gifts under the tree. we open them and got all that we wanted or needed. nothing more, nothing less. all the clothes fit and we loved it all.
so then we go to our aunts house, to have a great time with the family. we played wii, ate great food and saw the cousins. shared tons of laughs and talked all night. we also left gift on a few peoples doors, to thank them for being a blessing to our family.
the next morning i was planningon sleeping in, but that was ruined when our doorbell rang and i heard joy to the world being sung.
i go to open the dor to see the gordons singing handing us cookies. they came to thank us for the gifts and caroled for us. it was amazing. then we get a call from our family, saying they were coming over tomorrow (today)
so we cleaned and got food, ready for them to come. so they all came today, to our house. it was the first time in years weve had all of our family over. so we threw a party for no apperant reason. it was great, half of them havnt even been here before. and they brought there new puppy they were trying to sell. who had neverseen a cat, and our cat had never seen a dog. but at the end of the night, they ended up falling asleep together. we all had a great time, playing games and laughing.
so i realized, the greatest thing ever, to get you through god times and bad, is family and friends. they never let you down, and always create a great time to be had. i love all of you guys. thanks for making my holidays great!
