Christmas '08 is over in approximately 15 minutes

All in all, it was a fantastic Christmas. The process involved many hugs and tissue paper, but it was all worth it.

First stop was my grandparents on my mom's side. Little cousins running around everywhere. My ankles have carpet burns on them from racing down the stairs and trying to catch the little tots and force them to take a picture with me. After a few unsuccessful attempts where I ended up having a flip-flop thrown at me, I got my pictures! But my little sister lost the camera, so we'll just have to make do with the mental images for right now...

Second stop was my grandma's house on my dad's side. I love big families! We ended up staying there for about 5 hours, just talking with the cousins: Twilight being the main topic of the evening. Pictures were also the main event, trying to squeeze the whole family around a teensy little tree, and the aunts yelling at my cousin to run into the picture before the timer goes off. Classic!

And this Christmas is pretty momentous, being that I baked my first cake today! Funfetti to be exact, and it turned out better than I thought it would be. Khue, Mary, and I went out on a desperate search for frosting, and ended up going to Stater Bros, Albertson's, and 7-Eleven, with no success at all. However, we dug up some old icing from an earlier pumpkin bread adventure, and it worked out perfectly!

Alrighty, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight...
