Holy cow was it ever a busy household here. We had 13 people total, including us who live here (my mom, Bryan, my daughter and me). Surprisingly though it wasn't all that crowded like I thought that it was going to be. It was fun having all of the family around though.
Everyone arrived by Christmas Eve, we just hung out until we went to the Vineyard for the Christmas Eve service. For myself since I am not much of a church person anymore it didn't really do much for me but it is a tradition none the less. Next year though I think that it would be neat to go to a church that had a bell choir. I love hearing the songs that they play.
On Christmas morning it was good. The younger kids didn't wake everyone up at the crack of dawn wanting to open gifts. We all started to open gifts at around 9am. It was a bit crazy at first but then we got a system under control. I received a new camcorder. I have been wanting one for quite a while and I finally am a proud owner of the new Flip camcorder. It is so tiny. My daughter got what she asked Santa for... "A bike, please." She absolutely loves her new princess trike.
It is now 3 days after Christmas, everyone has gone back to their homes. We are back to our normal routines and it is quiet here once more. Don't get me wrong it was nice having everyone here but peace and quiet is nice to have too. We already took the tree down. It was nice having it up but it is also nice taking it down too. I guess maybe it is the feeling of Christmas is now over and the new year can start to begin.
With the new year I am not wanting to make those stupid resolutions of wanting to lose all this weight or something that I know I will never accomplish. So instead I am going to say that it would be nice to work on getting my tummy flatter this upcoming year, work on getting A's and B's in school, try to cook my way through a cookbook like Julie did in the movie Julie and Julia, and just to accept people for who they are.
So with that bein said I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and hope that you all have a good week with bringing in the new year!!
