Merry Christmas!!!!
Hi!!!! I hope you all had a great Christmas! I certainly did! Christmas this year just kept going and going and going! :-) But we had an AWESOME time in Skeneatlas (spelling? --For some reason I keep calling it Skanectity --spelling?)!!! Seymen and Jake were forced to get pedicures. They threatened to drive a seperate car so they could escape --because Georgia kept telling them that they were getting waxes...in unpleasent places...But they didn't leave us, and endured the pedicures (They were both surprisingly pleased with the outcome as well!) We then had a night full of eating...a 7 course meal (5 with 2 chef specials). We were so full that Seymen and I missed out on Monopoly night, because we couldn't walk upstairs from being so full.
Anyway, we spent Christmas Eve day with Dad and Georgia, doing the traditional dinner, and Baklava making. We left at 9 to go to mom's for midnight mass, and Christmas eve night with mom. It was actually really nice mass, with beautiful music. Jake came with us this year too, so that was fun and different. (Still haven't convinced Seymen to give it a try.) He was back at mom's by the time we made it home, and we all went to bed. This morning we slept in and prepared breakfast, opened presents, ate breakfast, opened more presents with Leslie and Derek, watched I-Robot (GREAT MOVIEEEE!!), prepared dinner, opened more presents with Jake, ate dessert, then I got sick to my stomache, so I went upstairs and slept a little.
Now I'm at the apartment, doing laundry and packing to go home. :-((( Seymen and I are also getting our stuff together (presents for his parents, voltage converted...etc) for our trip to Turkey in 2-3 weeks!!! Seymen heard from his dad and he's officially leaving on the 7th, and will pick me up in Istanbul on the 14th when I arrive. I'm so excited!!! Tomorrow, we're going shopping for more presents for his parents, and to use my Christmas Gift Certificates :-)
Anyway...I gotta run, we're going to watch Shrek 2 while we wait for my laundry to be done :-) Goodnight!!
