Christmas break has been amazing! I miss seeing everyone at school, but I am getting together with the people I can as often as possible! I have stayed up super late and slept in way too late but it has been a blast!
My mom finished a lot of Christmas shopping early, so I helped her wrap a few presents this past weekend. Yesterday I went with my dad and Ashtyn to help my dad shop for my mom. He says he would have been gone forever if we didn't help him...we were still gone for 7 hours!
All the kids draw names to see which sibling they are buying for. This year Ashtyn drew Rachel, Rachel drew me, and I drew Ashtyn...Ethan drew Hunter, Hunter drew Joshua, and Joshua drew Ethan. A nice, little circle! Today I am getting Ashtyn's gift and wrapping it then I will be done with her gift! Then tonight I will help my dad wrap my mom's gifts. Rachel picked up mom and dad's gift from all the children and she will wrap it at her apartment so we don't have to worry about them possibly seeing it. =)
Christmas seemed to come so fast this year. As I get older I think life just flies by. That's why we have to learn not to let one moment pass us by and live life to the fullest!
Yesterday as we were shopping everyone would say, "Happy holidays!", "Enjoy the holidays!", or anything avoiding the word "Christmas." Finally this one man who checked us out as we were leaving a store said, "Have a merry merry Christmas!" It made me happy. =)
