**Christmas**

Christmas was great!! We had the opportunity to spend it with my family this year. Rachael, Maddox, and I drove up on Monday. Paul, unfortunately, had to work and met us up there on Christmas Eve. It was nice and relaxing. Christmas day we woke up and we all went straight to the front room to open presents. (I've noticed since all of us are older now, my dad is the one waking us up instead of us children waking my parents up.) After the opening of the presents we ate breakfast and got ready for the day. After getting ready Rachael and I helped my mom finish Christmas dinner. Later that evening we all sat down to eat the beautiful meal. Man was it good!!! A little while after we ate we all loaded up in the vehicles to go to the movie theater for our traditional Christmas Day movie. This year we saw 4 Christmases. We originally wanted to see Bedtime Stories, but it was sold out. I didn't like the movie, but was happy with the time we got to spend together. It was nice to have the whole family there for Christmas.
