Christmas!!!!!

Okay so these past 2 days have just flown by. Last night was fun; we had our grandparents over and we acted out the nativity,

played games and stuff, and opened up gifts from eachother in the family. As my sister and I waited for santa to come,

we went crazy and made music videos upstairs on the laptop, and then we watched the office. Haha it was great! Then she woke me up at like 5 and i was like pleeease let me sleep for just another hour. So she did, but the whole time she was like talking to me every 5 minutes asking me if we could go downstairs yet or not. Hahaha but then my 2 brothers dashed up stairs and used "boppers" (the cardboard left over from the wrapping paper) and they wacked us on the heads to wake us up. So, finally, i ran down stairs with them and we got our parents. But, as usual, we had to wait like a half hour for them to actually wake up, then sing silent night, take pictures, tell what we are grateful for, and then run in the living room to see what santa brought us. it was great! we opened up presents one by one, and then did our biggest presents last. loveddd it! oh and then, the phone started ringing and it was my brother calling from none other than Joao Pessoa, Brazil!!

It is also his birthday on Christmas so we got to sing happy birthday and say merry christmas! ahahah it was great to hear his voice. he comes home this april! yay! well i just got back from exchanging gifts with my cousins, and now i think im going to head off and learn how to play my new guitar! :)

Most of all.. I am so grateful for Christ who was born on this beautiful day in Bethlehem!

Merry Christmas!
