A place for me to express myself and put random things that won't make sense to anyone, including me!

Merry Christmas!!!
Ok, so I'm a few hours early, as Kate made sure to remind me. But Christmas at our house starts early. We had a fabulous Christmas Eve dinner of pizza, martinelli's, and various hors d'oeuvres (yes it's spelled right). I was in charge of choosing and making the hors d'oeuvres. That was fun. :D We could have survived quite happily on just those, but then we wouldn't have had any of my mom's absolutely fabulous homemade pesto and artichoke pizza. So, we had dinner and then started in on the presents. I got...
The whole set of Harry Potter books from my brother,
Thick warm red sweater from my sister,
Car seat covers and a steering wheel cover from my parents,
Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights DVD from my parents,
512 MB USB thumb drive from my parents,
Stuffed poodle and $10 gift card to Target from my aunt and uncle,
Stuffed puppy and dark chocolate from Nick,
$25 check from Grandma & Grandpa Willes,
Funky gold and silver bracelet from Grandma & Grandpa Easterday,
(Before I left Fairbanks, Chris gave me 2 tango lesson cds.)
and my parents also got me one other gift... a beautiful white gold ring with a heart shaped blue topaz and 6 tiny diamonds set in it. :D It's gorgeous!!! My mom said I needed a ring that didn't have any guys attached to it. ;) It does come with a warranty too, so I can get it cleaned regularly and such. I need to take it down soon and have it made a little bit smaller... it's a tiny bit too big. Well, I think that's all I got for Christmas. Lots of wonderful gifts. :) And everyone loved the stuff I got/made for them. My mom and sister love their scarves, my brother was very excited about his game, and my dad was quite excited when he saw the movies I had picked out for him.
It's been very nice being home. I am glad I'm only here for a few more days, otherwise the beauty of it might wear off, but it's definitely nice right now. After the weekend I'm hoping to get some clothes shopping done. For the time being though... goodnight all!
