Holiday Madness!

Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I know that I did. Travis and I both made out like bandits this year!


The christmas eve "skoog gathering" was canceld. Mostly becuase I think everyone on that side of the family that still goes are getting up their in the years and it was really slick out and no one wants to bust a hip on christmas! So after hearing that news Trav and I headed down to Crawfordsville to visit with the family. His cousin Koti is a really close friend of mine now. She really is the coolest. So that was fun. The kids (Mack and Malik) were little hellions that night but after darn near tying them up in their blankets( we were giving it some thought. lol) they went to bed. The little buggers didnt wake up till after 7 am!!!! I was like HELLLOOOOO its christmas!!! I remember waking my brother up and running down the stairs at full speed at 5am! Screaming for mom and dad to wake up. They would wake up and put on coffee and Aaron and I would wait (I wouldnt say patiently) till we could open our stockings.


Another little christmas tradition that I love. I always got a slinky in my stocking. I know it sounds silly but I always look for it every year. I can't honestly remeber a year when I didnt get one. They are the best toys ever! When I have kids they will always have a slinky in their stocking.


Well after the kids finaly got up (and pounced on me) We all got dressed and headed over to "papa toms" cause thats where Santa delivers the gifts. The kids were so happy and the living room was a christmas paper tornado. I have never seen someone unwrap a christmas present so fast!!!!!! After the kids finished unwrapping trav and I got our stuff together to head to my mothers. We had a blast and mom made breakfast bake. It was amazing. I got a few gift cards and Mom got me some awesome shirts! After a while we went to visit Mikes family and had a pretty good time. Travis was so nervous, it was kind of funny! I didn't realize how long it had been since I had seen them all! My cousins are taller than me and they are only 15 and 13!!!! Well after all that we went on our way and mom sent us home with more eggs! Tell you what we sure wont starve with all the family bringing us food. We got half a pig the other day from my grandparents, eggs from mom and our neighboor brought us a million homemade cookies. He owns a flower shop here in town and is a really nice man.



Tonights agenda is not so hectic. Trav and I are going to catch a movie around 5 and maybe go out to dinner.


Well it's time for me to head out of here. Will post pictures asap.
