The nightmare before Christmas

I hope everyone had a fun and good holiday season. Christmas morning my sister Jennifer, my mom, and I had breakfast at our apartment and exchanged gifts. My family drew names this year, but the three of us got each other little gifts for Christmas morning. For breakfast we had scrambled eggs, (my mom makes the best fluffy eggs), home made biscuits, (my mom's biscuits are awesome!), crispy bacon, (my family won't eat it unless it is almost burnt), fruit, and hot apple cider. It was Delicious! Then we watched Harry Potter 5 and exchanged gifts. The rest of the day was spent at my brother's house in Franklin. Every year the family comes together Christmas night at Sam and MaryJane's. They lay out a grand spread each year and we have a blast. This year was great!

Jake spent 10 days in Colorado with his family for Christmas and man did it suck to be away from him for so long. I never want to be away from him for that long again. There was actually snow in Colorado this year, so he had a white Christmas. He had a wonderful visit with his family and made a three day trip home. He and his sister Rachel had to drive the long way home because of the ice and snow. When he got home I was so happy to see him! He, myself, and Rachel spent a fun day together when they got back. We had lunch at Canton's, (really good Chinese food), went shoe shopping at this great place called Marti and Liz, I took them on a very short walking trip around the downtown Franklin main street (it's not that long of a street). We had a sweet treat at this little bakery called Meridees, and sat and talked for a bit. We then made it back to the truck and realized that I had locked the truck keys inside the truck! Hahahah.....uh.......hm. We had a great conversation while waiting for the locksmith to come, which only took 30 mins. Once back in the truck we went down to McKay's bookstore and spent a good hour in there. Rachel headed back home the next morning, so it was a short trip but it was a great one.

I'm glad to have Jake bakc home and wish everyone a Happy New Year!
