Holidays

It has been quite the holiday. I have been so exhausted, but I got up the effort to write another blog post :P

This week has been busy! Mike and I went to the Thoms' Christmas party and had a blast. The food was plentiful and the company was well..unique. I came out of it with a HUGE bucket of candy leftover from someones Halloween stash. Mike also came out with candy haha. It was really a lot of fun, and it was great to see everyone again.

Sunday Mike and I joined my cousins Ja and Dan and their kids and my aunt and uncle to a beautiful Christmas show. We went last year but I have to say they did a splendid job again this year. The music was amazing and the acts were fabulous. Ja is probably already getting next years tickets :P

Monday I went out shopping at the mall for presents. It was incredibly busy, I couldn't believe it. Even Teavana which is usually empty had TONS of people crowded in the little store.

Tuesday was a VERY relaxing day. I woke up to the wonderful smell of Mike cooking breakfast. He made sausage and eggs. It was great, and he even did the dishes afterward. Then we sat and watched a few movies and just rested. Later we drove to Franco's Spa and got the best 70 minute hot stone messages ever!! We stopped and went to Panera for dinner and enjoyed the rest of our relaxing day. That night in Second Life we put on a Christmas show and I sang The Holly and The Ivy which was truly scary.

Wednesday I paid a visit to the kitties at the humane society. The building is finally finished and it looks amazing! It's huge and it's welcoming and feels very comfortable. There were tons of people at the door at noon wanting to get in. I was looking at the list and as you'd think a lot of animals were adopted out. Who knows how many will be coming back in a few weeks :(

Thursday night I slept over at my aunt Dar's house and we made cookies and pies for the next day. It was a bit icy getting there though. Christmas was so much fun. I was woken up bright and early to head over to breakfast at Dawn's house. When we got there the kids had already opened all their gifts and were wide awake. We all ate a huge breakfast and opened the rest of the presents we brought over. Mike and I got a new Toy Story Mania game for the Wii. I got some really nice necklaces, tea, and gift cards. Once we got back from breakfast Mike and I were put to work setting up for dinner that evening. It was exhausting but we had so much fun visiting with everyone.

Today Mike and I are finishing up watching holiday movies and trudging around. Tonight we are going to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I'm so excited to see them! I'll be sure to post picture of that up next week!

Only two more weeks of no school. Ugh!!
