Our Christmas is a little different than most years. This is the first year that my mom has to work Christmas day, so its up to dad and I to make it on our own.
First, we opened stockings before mom went to work. Than dad and I puttered for a bit to get ready for the day. Kev stopped by to get a table and chairs for their Christmas day. After that, Dad and I headed off to his work to grab his cell phone and than to my Uncles to visit with the Dearman family.
When we arrived there, only my two uncles and my gramma were there so I really got to visit with my gramma before everyone arrived.
I haven't seen my gramma in a really long time and she had such a good day! Her memory was really good and she ate really well!! I was pretty excited to be around her, especially since she was having a really good day. She had such a sense of humor that it was hard for dad and I to leave her. Especially when dad went to say bye and her eyes welled up with tears. See, Dad is the baby in the family and so am I for grandchildren. I spent a lot of time with my gramma when growing up, we used to bake together a lot and she used to play cards with me and just was an excellent gramma. So when she teared up, dad gave in and stayed a little while longer.
When we left, we were part way home and I noticed that I was getting a really bad sore throat. Great, I'm getting sick. My dad was my mom is and now me. *sigh*.
Dad and I get home and started doing chores when mom pulls in the driveway! No way! She's just supposed to be leaving work nevermind getting home from work! Oy, so dad and I rushed, got the chores done, he made supper and I helped him finish wrapping presents.
We ate supper and than Kev and Nikki came over and we started opening presents. Jordan soon arrived and than it all got chaotic. Wrapping paper everywhere and presents all around us. We were definitely spoiled!
I have to say, Jordan's gift is incredible this year, I'm going to be spoiled as he's going to buy me a new lens for my camera!! He printed a picture of a lens and wrapped it into a box, well I know his mom wrapped it but still, it was his idea! This is great! I'm very shocked and looking forward to figuring out what lens I'd like to get!
I received a lot of camera things for Christmas this year and I'm so beyond happy! Dad got me a really nice bit and he's going to make me a head set for it! Yay!!
It was definitely a different Christmas but it was a very good Christmas. In total, I'll be having 4 Christmases. One with my parents, kev, nikki and Jordan and than one with Jordan's family. Than one with my parents, brother, Riana and girls. Than one more at Jordan's city grandparents! Glad they're spread out! Christmas day, boxing day, New Years eve and New years day!
Merry Christmas everyone!! I truly hope you had an excellent day!!!
