*CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS*

CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT TRADITIONS AND FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS AROUND THIS TIME MY FAMILY RENTS A GIGANTIC VAN SO WE CAN ALL FIT AND WE DRIVE AROUND A LOOK A THE BEST GRISWALD CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.. IT IS SO MUCH FUN, AND THE VAN IS SERIOUSLY SO BIG IT FIT 12 OF US WITH ROOM TO SPARE, WE GOT SOME PIZZA AND SAW SOME REALLY PRETTY LIGHTS, I AM ALL ABOUT THE LIGHT FIXTURES, LIKE SNOWMEN AND PENGUINS, ANOTHER TRADITION WE DO AND HAVE DONE FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS ON CHRISTMAS EVE MY MOM MAKES HER HOMEMADE DELICIOUS CLAM CHOWDER AND THEN WE GO DOWNTOWN, AND LOOK AT THE LIGHTS, AND RIDE AROUND IN A CARRIAGE.. I LOVE THIS TRADITION AND I HOPE WE ALWAYS DO IT, THIS YEAR BOBBY WAS ABLE TO COME ALONG WITH US BECAUSE HIS FAMILY IS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING TO IOWA, SO IT WAS NICE TO HAVE HIM WITH ME.. IT WAS BITTER BITTER COLD OUTSIDE, BUT THANK GOODNESS BOBBY IS A GIANT AND HE KEPT ME WARM.. I AM SAD THAT CASSIE JASON AND THE KIDS WERENT ABLE TO COME THIS YEAR WHEN YOU ARE MARRIED YOU HAVE TO START THE EVERY OTHER YEAR THING :(.. AVA HAD FUN ONCE WE STOOD HER UP SO SHE COULD SEE JERRY OUR HORSE.. JEREMY WAS OUR DRIVER AND HE WAS VERY NICE, HE LET US STOP AND GET OUT AND LOOK AT THE GIANT HOLE THEY HAVE DUG FOR THE NEW MALL.. USUALLY WE GO ON A DIFFERENT ROUTE ON THE CARRIAGE BUT DOWNTOWN IS ALL TORN UP, BUT WE STILL WENT THROUGH SOME LIGHTS AND ITS JUST BEAUTIFUL... SO ONCE AGAIN CHRISTMAS EVE, WAS A LOT OF FUN.. I DIDNT REALLY GET PICS OF CHRISTMAS DAY BUT I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE MY FAMILY,(ALL MY PRESENTS FROM MY MOM WERE SURPRISES AND SHE DID PASSED THE TEST LOL) THEY ARE AMAZING. I AM A VERY LUCKY GIRL, BOBBY IS AN INCREDIBLE BOYFRIEND WHO SPENDS EVERYDAY MAKING SURE THAT I AM HAPPY..(HE MUST BE VERY TIRED AT NIGHT LOL) HE KNOWS ME SO WELL AND DID A REALLY GOOD JOB ON MY PRESENTS.. MY FUNNY GIFT HE BOUGHT ME WAS "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER", AND THE SEQUEL HA THEY ARE MY FAVORITES SO TONIGHT WE ARE HAVING A MOVIE MARATHON.. SO THANK YOU FAMILY, AND BOBBY FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU GOT ME, AND JUST BEING THERE FOR ME. I REALLY DO HAVE A GREAT LIFE!!
