"Through the years, we all will be together..."

I had a good Christmas! It was sort of rushed and I was partially sick but it was good. I spent Christmas Eve with Jeremy's family. We then tried to watch one of my favorite movies, Uncle Buck. How can it not be a good Christmas when Uncle Buck is on!! Then we went to my parents to watch another movie I had never seen. It was called Christmas in Conneticut and it was made in I believe 1945. Very cute movie I might add.

Christmas day I always open presents with my parents and Jeremy and then we eat breakfast together. I got a sewing machine this year so I can be super domestic! But the bad news is I can't sew yet, I'm in training! Then my parents left for my grandfathers house in Virginia and we were soon to follow.

This is where one of my most favorite parts of Christmas begins. Every year since my Grandparents moved to Virginia over Thanksgiving and Christmas we go spend a couple of days up there. They live in a restored 1860's farmhouse on over 300 acres of land. My two aunts and all their kids come up as well and its pretty much like a huge family pajama party. We eat tons of food, watch silly movies and sit around in our pj's. This year without my Grandma there and one of my aunts having to leave early, made things seem kind of rushed. But there was still good family time to be had. Me and my two girl cousins always sleep in the same bedroom. For the past gazillion Christmas times this room has been freezing, there is no central heat so there is a wood fire below to heat up our room. But we still freeze, I mean last Christmas I could see my breath in the room. Low and behold Grandad hooked up his cold grandchildren with a new heater. We all slept very warm for once! And someone threw out a kitten at his house and its so cute and friendly that he decided to keep it and we all enjoyed playing with it. And then it was time to come home. I was home alone for a while on Sunday night, sleepy and looking up at the Christmas tree. There was still wrapping paper in the living room and still good leftovers in the fridge, all signs of a great Christmas.
