With Christmas here and family getting together, I started to think about all the previous get togethers and just fun in general that I've had with my family. A huge part of my fun comes from being with my cousins Manda and Becca. Oh how we use to play with Legos building shops, houses, vehicles for hours on end. Most of the fun came in the actual constructing of the town. Which is similar to the Sims game, which we also loved to play. When we were a few years littler, we would bust out my boxes of barbies and animals to turn the upstairs part of our house into barbie world. And even littler than that, my Grandpa Dame had this game on his computer called the Secret Garden. We use to love playing that game and from what I remember it was about this garden which this giant ruled and there were seasons and games you could play. I would like to play this game again just to see if it is as great as I had thought it was when I was a kid. Another great game we would play is Roller Coaster Tycoon. Oh the many times we used to build roller coasters that were unsafe just to watch people freak out. And making "happy" and "mad" places for people to go where we might drown them or try to make them happy. Sounds morbid but really it was all fun and games haha! Bionicles was another fad we were into which was when Bionicles were actually cool looking. It would almost be able the same as Legos besides we would sort of combine them together. The many hours we would play and create adventures together, laughing and having fun. I, in a way, miss these times when life was so much simpler and carefree. Didn't have to worry about school all that much, driving, working, bills etc. I only wish that there were more memories like the ones I have. I wish that my cousins could have lived in the same town so that we could have hung out everyday. It's too late though and so I just hope there are more great memories to come!
This year I didn't help Mom decorate the church for the Christmas party. I was waaaay too lazy to get out of bed. I went and got Kendra at 11:30 to get her in her Christmas outfit and take her over to the church. I was kind of nervous because the roads had some snow on them and I didn't want to jinx anything but if anything would have happened and Kendra died or was seriously injured I would have felt horrible for the rest of my life. Luckily we made it all right over to the church and got unloaded. Mom had mostly everything decorated and so that was fine. I basically watched Kendra the whole time because Mom was busy making punch and doing other things. We ate at 1pm and the food was all right, nothing too grand. Santa came around 2 and we got some pictures of Kendra sitting on his lap, she was being goofy so they didn't turn out that great. After that we then opened gifts and I waited until everyone had opened theirs to give Mom hers. For school in my Drawing I class we had to draw a portrait of someone we knew and so I had picked Kendra. It turned out so well so I had decided to give it to her for Christmas. I was sooo nervous when I handed it to her and she opened it. She loved it (like I knew she would) and I was so relieved! Everyone around us was like oh my gosh! and we ended up showing everyone haha. It was great but I was nervous of people maybe getting food/drink on it. If that would have happened I would of died! It was a pretty good day all in all, I took Kendra home and then went home which is where I am =P. Apparently Mom took the picture over to Keisha and Mike's to show them and Keisha just loved it and said she wanted her own haha.
