Ok, So.... the Holidays!  Yaya!  Every one loves them right?  How could you not!  :)

Last night was the Culpeper ward Christmas party (the ward we were in previously) And so mom let us kids go!!!!!  yay!  It was so much fun 

to see old friends again!  It was nice to just be like the old days! haha!  We ate, we sang 

Christmas songs, the kids sat on "santa's" lap, and there were a couple of "musical" numbers!:)Church parties are so cool! haha! Well then after the party we invited Aaron, Kelsey, Nick Jake, Brianne, Stefan, Ryan and Jared over!  :)  It was a blast!  We watched Prince Caspian, and drank Glogg!  :) (glogg is a Swedish drink). 

/On the way up here, I called my mom t come pick us up....  But instead my dad came in his little corolla! haha!And we were driving Aaron, Kelsey, Jared, Ryan, Dad, me, Clarissa, Sheridan and Luc... And if I counted right (you know us home schoolers have trouble with that some times.....haha jk) that means we had NINE people in our car..... yup we had six in the back and three in the front! lol! we had Clarissa Sheridan and Luc sit on peoples laps in the ba

ck, and then Jared and Ryan shared a seat in the front!!!  haha!  It was so crazy!  And so NOISY!  lol!  :) we were having such a great time!

Zach and 

Meghan (his GF) Went with a few friends to go see the 

Washington DC temple lights last night, and the two of them dropped in the house around two thirty this morning! haha! An hour after all 

my friends left!  They all wanted to see him so bad!  lol!  They all know him pretty well, we helped with BS (haha Boys s

couts! lol!) And he also just made a point of being nice to all the "little 

kids"  that were my age, so they all know him, and stuff, so they just barely missed him! lol!  And then Meghan and him left his morning, just like half an hour ago (it is 8:15 am)....  But it was nice to see them any ways! <3

Jocelyn will be coming home for Christmas on the 21st!  yay!  I can

't wait, and Zach will also be here By the 19th or 20th!  :)  We'll have every one together for Christmas!!!!  the first time in two years!  I will be so awesome!  <3>

This year is different for me, as it always is every year, I always seam to get more understanding of Christmas, or to feel more a part of it.... My sentiments this year have already been expressed by kermit the Frog, you can't say it any better... 

"There's magic in the air this evening,

magic in the air

the world is at it's best you know

when people love and care

the promise of excitement is one the night will keep

after all there's only one more sleep till Christmas

The world has got a smile today

the world has got a glow

there's no such thing as strangers

when a stranger says "hello"

and every one is family, we're having so much fun

after all there's only one more sleep till Christmas

'Tis the season to be jolly and joyous

with a burst of pleasure we feel it arrive

It's a season when the saints can employ us,

to spread the new about peace and to keep love alive!

There's something in the wind today that's good for everyone.

Yes faith is in our hearts today, we're shinin' like the sun!

And every one can feel it!  The feelings running deep.

After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas!"
