OOOKAY

So. Let me recap all that has gone on this dear dear month. First....finals.....great. heavens. they are over. i never have to do math again. yahoo. next semester is going to be smashing. african dance? yes please.

First we went to pick out the tree. {sister} was more on top of it than me so just check her place out. it is huge and i love it. i love christmas trees. love them. beautiful.

then there is {sister}'s birthday. she turned TWENTY ONE!!! party. {brother} asked for beer from her for christmas....he was joking of course. anyways. she was bummed that she had to work so we threw a little morning shin dig at the i H O P!!! except....i was working for the man every night and day. but it was great and last year i wrote all the things that are great about her and i will just ditto that since it is so far past and say a big HURRAH for her.

last night we {dad's family} did a classic christmas party with hors d'oeuvres and lots of laughing. we even got in a game of dippity dippity dip. always a good. then santa

came over and graced us with our wishes. i didn't have my camera for that since i was late. there

is tree. isn't it massive?

and now it is Christmas......what? is the great year of 2009 already over? i love christmas. obviously it is christmas right now. i am taking a break from JUST DANCE. funnest game ever. I just wish that the sensor could really see my moves. lots of old school mario-ing it up. lots of yelling in that game and most of it is from the viewers. {uncle G} came over and gave us delicious apples. santa brought me some great stuff!! more film!!!!!!! i have been aching to go and take more polas but i just have no money. awesome. and i just found out i need a new battery for my computer? yup. i have to keep it plugged it at all times or she shuts down. poor girl. anyways.see my new jacket? yes. it is THAT cool. if you haven't, check out threadless.com. great. and {sister} made me a camera strap. it is dashing. and no. i am not tired. i am just christmas-ing dang it!! and it wears you out.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!
