~!~Merry Christmas~!~

I am so EXCITED for Christmas this year!!! 

Words cannot describe on how I feel about Christmas... My mom is such a Christmas lover it is pathetic, but so much fun. We sit around, turn up the Christmas music and decorate or wrap presents or just sit and talk about everyday things. 

My mom and I are very close, practically like sisters. We get on each other’s nerves, take each other’s things, and talk about everyday life that wouldn't normally take place in a typical "mother, daughter" relationship. 

Any who’s this is my mom, brothers and my last Christmas together as "kids." I am graduating, leaving, moving out, moving away and my brother (Lane) is buying his own house and he is going to eventually leave this town. Moms just a tad bit emotional to say the least! :P 

I can't wait for Christmas this year for quit a few reasons mostly about my mom. I finally have a job this x-mas and able to afford Christmas presents! My brother and I bought my mom two extraordinary gifts. A pair of shoes that cost my bank account and we bought her a painting by her favorite artist Angelina Wrona that cost my other paycheck. I am so ecstatic about this only because it makes me feel so good that after all these years I can finally get her nice things and give her a small piece of what she deserves from me and Lane. AHHH I am so excited. 

I know this is out of the whole Christmassy spirit and all, but I just broke my pinkie nail. Usually I don't care, but its before Christmas and I wanted all my nails with me :( and if they broke opening presents well at least there was a reason... Anyways had to get that off my chest. 

Back to Christmas... I am searching for a penguin stuffed animal or something penguin. My little brother (Dylan) has this inside joke with me (he’s 6) and it is about a walking penguin, he absolutely thinks it is hilarious! So do you think Fort St. John Canada has "walking penguin" stuffy... Nope. So now what do I buy him? 

Here is another dilemma... I happen to have another little brother, Chasen, who is four. If I get Dylan a stuffed animal he gets a stuffed animal or else they will fight over their toys later. So what kind of stuffy do I get Chasen? Times a ticken to. Oh well I am sure I will figure something out :) 

Boxing day I am going out to my dads, and from there to my grandmothers, who I am not a big fan of, but one thing I am looking forward to is spending time with my other little brother who is now 8 months!! Yes that is the last of my little brothers: P He is such an amazing baby; he is the most loving carefree angel in the world. I am so blessed to have 3 amazing little brothers who mean the absolute world to me!! Oh and I guess my older brother to. : P 

                    This is Dylan and I :D (My favorite picture ever) 

I have so many things that I am looking forward to and I am so thankful for everything in my life. I am very spoiled and I appreciate every learning experience and hard time I have had in my life because that has made me who I am today!!

You hold the power... Merry Christmas!!!
