Happy New Year! And a Recap!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everything goes well for everyone on Xanga! I can't believe it's new years already!

I'll give a recap of all the stuff I did not blog about during the end of the year.

Christmas week was very busy. My sister, my nephew and my brother in law came down from california to gisit us for christmas. My nephew Jax is so adorable. he is only 4 months old. i spent a lot of time around him it was fun watching him and stuff. he did spit up on me a few times though and that was not pleasant ha ha. 

Christmas week was busy, we did lot's of shopping and buying various things for Christmas. We went to Bed Bath and Beyond, Ross, Burlington coat facorty, Wallmart, the mall and many other places and bought many things it was a big adventure for all of us and all of us most certainly came home every night with tired and sore feet. I know mine were at least. It seems that the week of christmas we went to every store in the city (which i know isn't true it just seemed that way).

It was fun shopping with the family, we hardly ever get to do anything with each other so it was really nice.

My brother and my sister Linda got this huge TV for my dad to replace out really small one. We had to plan it so my dad was out shopping so we could move the big TV in the living room. It's 27 inch. My brother and my sister's husband did the moving. We had to move tales, plants, and other stuff so it could fit in the living room it was so crazy. We have a lot of plants so it was a  challenge.  it was so funny though seeing them moving all that stuff around just so they could fit a TV.

We played a lot of games, and ate a lot of pie and other great stuff. We had a lot of jellybeans as well. For some reason I kept getting a large amount of green ones.  It was a very sugary christmas. Surprisingly I did not gain any weight from it though. We always play a lot of games around the holidays it's a standard thing in my family. We usually play board games, and card games. Now that I think about it we have never played video games together for years.

Anyway, christmas and christmas eve were pretty cool. Christmas eve we just watched movies, and played games and stuff. Christmas was a bit more exciting though. I was surprised when no one was up early in the morning on christmas day. it seems that everyone except for me and my sister Laura were the only ones up before 7am.  I could not sleep at all. Everyone was up until about 3am the night before and woke up around 9 or 10am in the morning.  We made breakfast around 10am and then got everyone together and opened presents.

Everyone got a good number of presents. it took us a good 2 hours or so to open presents. A lot of boxes of chocolates were opened. We, all 12 of us probably demolished 3 whole boxes. I got some makeup, a Nintendo DS, a Fullmetal Alchemist calendar, some clothes, some books, and a movie (my neighbor Totoro). My other family members got cothes, scarfs, my mom got a new cordless phone, a purse, and some other stuff. My sister got baby clothes for Jax, a lot of presents were under the tree. We had a lot of fun opening all of them.

We made apple skeebers for lunch. They are like round pancake balls with apple sauce in the middle and you dip them in this really great cinnamon sauce. most of the rest of my day was just games and playing with all the stuff we got, like the new TV, and my DS is pretty fun as well! i played with my niece and nephew a lot that day.

I got hair dye stuff for christmas as well, I knew I was getting it though because I picked it out the day before.  I dyed my hair with ION hair color Medium red hair dye. It's sort of a really dark, purplish red. It looks really super nice though. I've never dyed my hair before. My sister did it for me. It's so nice to have a different hair color for once. It looked like a horror shop when I was washing it out though, like I was washing blood out of my hair so freaky ha ha.  I was anticipating the coloring of my hair for that whole week and I was not dissappointed with the results. I'll put pictures up later.

The rest of this week has been pretty normal after my sister left on Monday. Things went back to normal, we all started doing our own things after christmas, playing with our presents, I got my computer back, we fixed it, the holidays were amazing. I miss my nephew though a lot. He was so adorable and fun to play with.  I've been working on some new anime, and doing stuff on facebook all week and setting up my newly fixed computer.

We can play netflix and some other cool internet things on our new TV. I am working on watching LOST now. I've never watched it. I'm not very big on TV, haven't been for about 4 or 5 years now. 

new Years Eve was nothing special for the most part except for the end when we got to count down together.  I just spend the day watching Asian dramas it was fun.

Anyway, if I remember anything I left out I will edit this.

This is not my actual New Years Post by the way. This is mostly just a re-cap. I will do my actual new years post later. it's only 1am here now. I have a lot of time.
