Jesus, Presents, Family & most of all, love.
Wow, what a day. I can honestly say I have never had such a blessed Christmas. It's not even just about the presents, its like..I have never felt so loved and cherished. I got to spend Christmas with not only all of my family, but I got to spend it with another precious family.
My little brother strolled out of bed around 6:30, and the presents began! I got a lot of good stuff, and so did my sister and Noah. My mom got a ring she has been wanting for a while, with all our birthstones in it. My Dad got a plaque talking about what a good dad he is. It was good to see everyone so happy. So, than we all piled up in my car and went to church at 9:30 am. After church I drove them home, and we started getting ready to go over my Grams for the big family shin dig! Chris came over, he helped Noah, my Dad & my uncle, set up some dragon thing, lol..( Its definitely gotta a guy thing)Anyways, we went over to Grams around 1 pm, all sat around the table. There was 15 of us around the table. My Grampa started out by reading a scripture from the Bible about salvation, and what Jesus brought us not only by dying, but by being born. Than we said a good prayer, and DUG IN! After a big dinner, we all headed to the family room, and began opening up all the presents. I can remember when Shannon, my sister, and me were real little, and we would sit there and try to talk my Gramma into letting us open the tree before dinner, lol. It seemed like every bit the adults took, took so long. Those were the good ole days! Anyways we got a lot of good gifts, and I think Chris was happy with what they got him too.
So than we went to Chris' ( I drove, whaooo) and when we got there His mom and dad were standing at the door, and gave us welcoming hugs, that felt really good. We all sat down and they just started handing me presents, it was very overwhelming. ( In a good way!)I got two VERY pretty necklaces, ( much use out of them), CUTE baby pink slippers that say "This is what spoiled looks like!" And SOOO adorable pink pajamas that say that too. Than they handed me this HUGE box..and there like pick it up. So I did and it was very heavy, and hence..it was from Chris. So I am like what the heck could it be? So I start to cut it open, and there was like all the little styrofoam things, so I dig in them all over the place, and I found this fossil box. I opened it up and there was the CUTEST, prettiest pink fossil watch. It is so nice, I really was in need of a watch too. Chris, thank you so much, you're so great! Anyways, the reason why the box was so heavy was because they were trying to trick me and put WEIGHTS in the box!! LOL Anyways, well let me see- as alot of you probably know I am quite the clumsy one, well yeah in the Ramirez household me and Chris are known for spilling drinks all the time, everywhere. So Chris' dad got us these plastic cups with lids, lol mine was pink and his was blue and he like had ASH put on mine, and Chris on his. LoL, he is too much!
Than we went over his aunts house, mingled hung out, ate a little and just basically had good ole family time. We played Cranium later when we got back to Chris' and I can't beleive I am even saying this- but.. Chris' parents actually BEAT me and Chris! ( For the first time ever, and the last time!!)
Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day. Goodnight & Godbless everyone!
