'Twas The Night Before Christmas

... and all through the house, the family was watching TV. lol We spent Christmas Eve with my parents. It was so nice. Usually we get together with the entire family - aunts uncles cousins grandparents - but this year it was jus the immediate family. I really really liked how it was less chaotic and I definitely felt the reason for the season.

We ate a delicious Christmas dinner and then watched "The Golden Child" with Eddie Murphy. Its been so long since I last saw that movie that I had forgotten many parts. After the movie, we sat down by the Christmas tree to exchange gifts. Since Shaedon was the youngest of the bunch (Chance wasn't include in the exchange since hes spoiled and EVERYONE got him a gift) he started. He had Chris and gave him a giftcard to Best Buy. Chris had Dad and gave him a giftcard to the movies. Dad had Mike and gave him money. Mike had Billy and gave him iTunes giftcard. Billy had Kjera and gave her a very soft pink scarf and a soft colorful beanie. Kjera had Shaedon and gave him a guitar!! Manny was the next youngin and she had Cassie. She gave her a purse with goodies inside. Cassie had Manny, lol, and gave her a giftcard to Rue 21. Next was me and I had Mom (can you guess who Mom had lol). I gave her some silky scarfs and earrings. Finally, but definitely not least, Mom had me and gave me a giftcard to Best Buy (which I used for a Wii control!!).

It was sucha great way to start of the Christmas Holiday. I am so thankful for my family and I love them very very much.
