In Canada !/ merry christmas eve

SO after alot of driving on tuesday, we arrived at my grandpa's house in canada at around 10:30, which is pretty good for us, usually its about a fourteen hour drive, but we left at 9:30 in the morning, so it only took us 11.. i thought there would be alot of snow on the ground, but dissapointingly there wasnt too much. just enough to walk/dance around in and feel like a retaard :)

we kinda relaxed for wednesday, and today was christmas eve! we opened all of our presents tonight, and it was fun. we have to go to alot of different peoples houses, so we end up having christmas every night .. which is funn. we made a whole snack bar thingy of food tonight to snack on after the christmas eve service at my grandpa's church, and it was yummy .. :P

so tonight we all went to the christmas eve service, but it was kinda interesting inn a weird way because my grandpa, my auntie chris, and my dad and all the kids went before me and my mom so we would have more time to get ready. so me and my mom arrived like ten mins late, and we had to sit in the basement with a video of the service upstairs, and the sound quality wasnt the best. not to mention the huge man that was sitting in front of me, and the kid with the hair sitting in the front row blocking my view. so yeah i didnt really see the service but i heard it.. and after it, my mom is talking to all these people she knew as a child and that i've never even heard of .. awkwardd haha but at the end i got a goody bag with candy in it:))

so altogether its been a fun break so far .. big christmas meal tomorrow with more canadian relatives hopefulllyy.. bye for now!

Leaving tomorrow..

so tomorrow im leaving for canadia, the homeland! ugh i wont be able to use my phone at all while im up there because of roaming and stuff i think, last time we got charged like 400 dollars.. but whatever it'll be fun in the snow :)

im so excited to leave but theres so much packing to do and my mom is freaking out. hha she always gets stressed out when we go places because she thinks we'll never be able to pull it off but somehow we always make it out of the driveway.. and then realize we've forgotten somehting and have to decide whether its important enough to turn around for .

It was SUCH a busy day today, i woke up around like 9ish, and went to Kohls and got an ipod dock/home/charger/sterio thing. its really snazzy (: then it was off to one of nathans appts, and then one of mine, and then off to smoothie king for a pineapple surf smoothie. Then off to get haircuts for the sibs, and home again, where i realized i hadnt eaten anything at all all day. so i had dinner (spaghettie yumm) and tried to setup my iHomee.

We also went to the library and i got a couple of really good-looking books, one that im reading right now, deadline , its a really cool book, about a guy that has one year left to live and has to figure out what to do with the rest of his life. Probably will be a tear-jerker.. :''-(

anyway ,, i gotta go finish packing for canada, were gonna try to leave early tomorrow, we say that evvery year, but this year were gonna try to leave by 8:30 (fingers crossed) because its a freaking 14 hour drive !

so yeah, text tomorrow.. it'll be my last day in a while with my phone ... byee
