Great end to the (kind of) weekend!!

Went to church this morning!!! Good service! Got to catch up with one of the girls I grew up with who was in town for the holidays, so that was cool.

Suzie and I hung out this afternoon, which was really fun, as usual!!!

Watched some skating too, it was for stars on ice, which is the show that my dad and I go to!!

I have to work early tomorrow, so I am planning to go to bed early, and just discovered the Sound of Music on TV!! Yah!

Have a great new year everyone! Tomorrow night I'm hanging out with Sara, so that should be SUPER fun!! Love!

Weekend off to a great start!

The past couple of days at work, haven't been the best, but the weekend has been going great. Yesterday, I relaxed, and actually cleaned my room for my new years party.

I slept in this morning, which was FABULOUS!! I found out that my dad took my car to st. cloud, which he usually does every Saturday morning to put gas it in, which I pay, but my car stalled on the highway when he was in the left turn lane, and he said people were swearing at him. He then called the house to have someone come get him, but we were all sleeping and didn't hear the phone, whoops! So he called our neighbor, and instead of our neighbor coming over and waking us up, he went to go get my dad! nice huh?!?! I think I might be buying myself a new car, it's time my dad said! I really want to get a jeep, a blue one! I think! :)

This afternoon I hung out, kev, mom, and I watched youtube videos of High School musical, and sang the songs. That was fun!

Then I went shopping and worked out hard, which albeit is hard, but it feels really good when you are done! I bought some Christmas Hermey stuff, which is half off since Christmas is over! they already have Valentine stuff up in stores, how crazy is that?!?!?

Then I bought some ingriedents that I am going to be making for my new years party! Its a dip, so nothing too out there! I, hopefully, can handle this!!

Then Suzie called and we talked for awhile, and are making plans to hang out tomorrow, which will be so much fun! She wants to watch the vikings, because its a super important game for them, and kev and my dad hate the vikings!! Ha ha!

Good times, well I should get to bed so I can get up tomorrow morning!

Weekend (and beyond!) plans:

Sunday:
Church
hang with Suzie
go to bed early, since I work early on Monday!

Monday:
Work
New years PARTY!!!!!

Tuesday:
Sleep in
Relax
Watch skating!

Then working the rest of the week, and celebrating Christmas with sara this coming weekend, I think! Not sure, will fill you in when I know!!

G'night! :)

Survived going back to work!

I actually had a really good day today! It was slow, I think just because of being the day after Christmas, which stinks! I hate the day after, growing up my mom used to take the tree down right away when people left, at least its still up! Plus Sara and I do a gift exchange usually in early january, just to say that its still technically Christmas!!!

Anyway, work was good! I ended up working on a filing project with my friend Lisa for a bit, so that was fun, and made time go by faster! I didn't get a call the last hour that I was scheduled, it was that SLOW! I hope it picks up eventually!

Now just relaxing, probably going to read a bit from my new book before I go to bed!!

Its almost the weekend, and yet it feels like a monday! hooray! :)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!!

What a great day! started out kinda rough, since I couldn't sleep last night, and my siblings were so impatient for me to wake up to open santa gifts. I think because I knew what I was getting, it wasn't to big of a deal to go open, even though I got some more cool stuff!!

Then we got ready for the family to come, and I prepared myself, but it was actually really fun. My little cousins are SO CUTE!! The white elephant gift exchange was fun too, and no scandals like last year, except when my cousin Tim and Kevin (brother!) screwed up the number of people, but it was okay!

I ended up with 5 bucks and a dominoes set that I gave to mom! :)

Then I caught up with my cousin who lives in Chicago, and her hubby, and her little boy Liam, is SUCH A CUTIE!!! Then I watched a little skating, and by around 5:00 everyone was gone, so we cleaned up, Jackie left, and came back since she forgot stuff, and Kevy went to his friends house. So then I started to chill and read, and relax since I have to work tomorrow (ick!!)

But it was a great day and a great Christmas!! merry christmas everyone! Have a great new year!

Love,
Kristin

Merry Christmas!!!

What a great day! It started out by getting woken up to dad saying he was going to get pizza!!! YAH!! We ate pizza, watched the burglar scenes of Home Alone 1 and 2, since we try to watch all of both, and it usually doesn't happen!

Then we got ready for church, and since Kev bought this SUPER girlish white sweater to wear for Christmas Eve services, Jackie said that we should both wear some of mom's Christmas/old lady sweaters!!! It was funny, but I kept my jacket on for most of the service. We ended up going to the family Christmas eve service, which was very well, CRAZY! It was okay, but I think since it was the family service, there were SO MANY KIDS! AHHH!!

After the services, we came home, got ready to read the nativity story. We also read that story from my Message bible, so that was cool. Then dad said a prayer and we opened presents. I got so many cool things! YAH!! I got a Making of the Classic Rudolph movie, I got a sasha cohen skating book, a twins t-shirt, a joe mauer poster, that he can sign when I go to twinsfest next year!! So much other cool things too!

Then we played Disney Trivia, since mom gave it to dad, and then dad came up with a crazy game for us to play, which this year was Sommersnopoly (monopoly!) which was SO fun, with real money, which dad marked down with post it notes! We won SO much money, it was great!

Then Jackie, mom, Kev, and I watched High School Musical 2, which Kev gave to jackie, and then we played the trivia game I gave her, and now I am SO tired and going to go to bed. We got family coming over tomorrow, and sometimes they show up early, so we are going to do stockings, and suprise mom and dad with there stockings, which will be SO MUCH FUN!!

Wow!!! Fun times!! My family is SUPER! Hooray! Well have a great Christmas, and I will post about tomorrow!! G'night! :)

FABULOUS day!!! MeRrY ChRiStMaS!!!!

What a wonderful day! I pretty much watched skating and chilled out in front of the tv. Then when kev got home we went light looking. Which was SO much fun! Dad sat in the back seat with me and Jackie and he is SO weird and SO funny!! Good times!

We took my car and there are only two heat buttons: really, really high, or none at all! nothing in the middle. So someone would yell out "Turn the heat off!" and then literally two minutes later someone would shout: "Turn the heat on!!"

Before we went to see the lights we went caroling to the couple from our church, remember? Which was fun. We didn't really have a song planned, so we decided to come up with one on the doorstep, and then they opened the door, and we sang "We Wish you a Merry Christmas!" It was fun, and I think we have such great voices! (when jackie sings over us, since she has the nicest voice!)

Then we went to see the lights, which were great, as always! Then we went to Mcdonalds, and this was the funny part. We got a new guy doing the drive thru orders, and

dad starts: Merry Christmas. I need 40 chicken nuggets (there's 5 of us!) I got a coupon! Is that okay!"
New guy: "Ummm......"
dad: "Great", before he could answer. "I'm gonna pull up to the winder (window!) now!!! It was SO funny! That's my dad!

(Jackie if I missed anything let me know!)

We always get chicken nuggets at McDonalds. A couple years ago we ordered 20 and dad went to get gas or something, and came back and Kev had eaten ten of them. He was so mad at the time, but he brought it up and was laughing today!

Then we looked at some more lights, went to Cold Stone for ice cream (another Sommers tradition!) Lady screwed up my order, how do you do that with ice cream?!? Oh well! We also sang "We wish you a Merry Christmas" to our neighbors, and it was funny because he saw my sister drive us into the ditch in front of our driveway, which really wasn't the ditch, and she was like, "I hope no one saw!". Which was great!!!!!

When we got home, we watched the Vikings loose, which made the males in my family very happy, and then I chilled, and went upstairs and hung out with the roomies upstairs (jackie and kev!) That was fun! Kev tried on his "Christmas" sweater he bought at savors. It is so ugly, but so him!

Traditions tomorrow:
Pizza
Home Alone movies
Christmas Eve services
presents
Sommersopoly! (Dad comes up with a crazy game each holiday: just Christmas and Easter, and we play them, and it is SUPER fun! Last years Christmas game: "How well do we know dad!" It was fun!
Play with new stuff

Christmas Day:
Try to sleep in, kev will wake us up SUPER early, and open santa presents: I guess we are golden since santa has been coming since I was born!!!
Get ready for Sommers family to come over
white elephant gift CRAZINESS exchange, some scandals happened last year, we shall see if they happen this year too!
Hide out with sister
hang out with imediate family when everyone leaves!
Get ready for work again!! AHHHH!

Well, I should get some sleep tonight! love you all and have a great Christmas! :)

Family Time/Traditions!

The weekend at the Sommers house started out kinda shaky. Jackie brought the movie Hairspray home, which I thought was stupid, with some okay parts!

Most of the time I talk about how wonderful my family is, but like all families, there are problems that arise, and yesterday kinda felt like everyone was cranky, plus the Cowboys were playing and Kev gets so intense, so that could've been part of it, but I know the rest of the weekend is going to be fabulous!

Its funny because I got a new single bed, and kev put in his single bed along with his old bed, so Jackie has been sleeping in Kevin's room. "Girl roomate!!" Which is hilarious!

Church was good this morning. Fun to catch up with those I grew up with! Plus one of them, jackie "mudder" has a baby girl, so we will probably see the Klaehn family tomorrow during the Christmas Eve services.

Then Jackie and I went Christmas shopping and got all my shopping done. I also took her to Perkins and that was a lot of fun! The bad weather was not to fun to drive in, but we made it home!

Now I am going to watch some skating, take a nap, and then tonight we are going to go light looking. Now a description of the start of the Sommers family traditions.

We started this one a couple years ago.....

There is a house in Clearwater which has a MILLION lights, so we go there. Also a couple from our church live over there, so we go sing Christmas carols to them. Then we go to mcDonalds and get a bunch of chicken nuggets, look at more lights, and then go to Cold Stone for dessert. we also sing to the Christmas carols on the radio, and its just about being together and having fun.

So that is what we do the night before Christmas Eve, I will describe the other traditions later!!

Have a merry, merry Christmas!! :)

Survived, and now celebrating Christmas with the fam!

YAH!! Work was great!!! (it lasted FOREVER, but it was still fun!)

When I got there I handed out candy and christmas cards, and cute little ornaments for my podmates, so that was fun!

They started letting people go early, since it wasn't busy at all, so it got very quiet right away! We took calls, talked, watched the clock, etc. until 10:00! It was nice to be around some of the other girls I work with, that I don't see very often!

Now I am in the process of cleaning my room, getting ready for Jackie coming home and then we are going shopping tomorrow, so I should go to bed soon before she gets mad at me for sleeping in!!! AHHH! (Even though she will probably wake me up SUPER early when she gets home!!) Grrr! J/k!!

So very excited to be free for the next couple days, and I promise I will get that more descriptive Sommers family Christmas celebrations explanations out to you guys soon!!

Merry Christmas! (Almost!)

Kristin

One more day, hooray!!!

Just gotta get through tomorrow!! TODAY LASTED FOREVER, i repeat, FOREVER!!!

I think most of my co-workers are just anxious for the weekend to get here, and some of them got to go home early, I opted out, just because I didn't want to loose hours!

I talked to this consultant for almost an hour, she was mostly complaining about our background music, but she was SO funny! I just couldn't believe it! (I actually like our background music!)

Called one of my old co-workers Jessamyn, and that was good to catch up!!

Well my morning started out very slowly, so I think I am going to go to bed early so I have time to get ready!! G'night!!


Christmas is coming soon!!! YAH! :)

What a FABULOUS day!!

Had such a great day today! I was supposed to go to the employee sale this morning, but silly old me, just couldn't wake up, so I had a co-worker/friend of mine get me some stuff!

When I got work we had our team party! We ordered from famous daves and hung out for about an hour and half. It was good food, and we revealed our secret santa's. Mine gave me yet another present with black winter materials: scarf, mittens, hat, etc. (SO CUTE!!!) We also got gifts from the company, and from our team lead Jessica, so that was cool.

Then some of us had training for about an hour which is just the trainers telling us about changings or things being updated!

Then I finally got to work, and it was SO SLOW! Like no calls at all, it was fun for awhile and the day was going fast, and then it SLOWED even more down! So our pod talked, and hung out!

When I got home caught up with dad since I haven't talked to him since my parents got home from vacation, he is excited to spoil me when we go in Feb, and I'm excited to be spoiled. Then I caught up on some Christmas classics, like The Little Drummer Boy, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town! I love all those old animagic movies, but I have to wait to watch my favorite one until Sara and I have our Christmas party, she doesn't like Rudolph, but I think she does!! :)

It kinda felt like a Friday, but I still have two more days and then its Christmas!!! Here are my plans for the extended weekend and i will tell you in details our Christmas traditions, probably on Friday or saturday.

But again more details later!!! I love my family so much!!

Only a couple more days and then the Christmas weekend is HERE! :)

Okay day today, just trying to get through the rest of the week!

Today was a good day. At first my closest friend (at my new job) Lisa wasn't in, so I was worried that she was sick or something, but she was using her volunteering time (that we get paid throughout the year!) so she was in later. I told her she was the glue that stuck us all together. Someone at PCI told me that and I thought it was SO nice!!

It was SO SLOW TODAY AT WORK!! Craziness! So that has been kinda fun, and tomorrow we have our holiday party, for about an hour with catered food!! Good times!

Have a great rest of the week! :)

Oh happy day! (when Jesus walked!)

Wow, can someone honestly say they love going to work, because they know it will be fun!! I have to say that work was great, and better than my lazy day yesterday!

We had so much fun! We talked, worked of course, just hasn't been so busy! We played on this art website thing, and painted. Planned for our Christmas party on Wednesday, yes during work, read magazines. The consultants were really nice today too, they were kinda moody on Friday! Oh well, it happens!

Kevy was home when I got here, and in a fabulous mood! :)

Christmas is coming soon, fa la la la la, la la la la!!!!

Have a great week everyone! :)

Sorry if I posted mean things about my brother!

I love him very much!!!


G'night! :)

What a CRAZY weekend! PS Happy b-day mom!

Wow, is all I can say! I guess I should start from Saturday!

SLEPT IN, Hooray!! It was great

Was a little lazy, then went Christmas shopping, got more of it done. Almost done, with a week until Christmas, which I am SO excited about!

Met Suzie at Mongo's, where we first met up for dinner months and months ago when we got to be good friends! Then we decided to rent the sequel to the Christmas shoes, which was AMAZING! Didn't cry like the first one, but it was still good! We also got some wine (fake, of course!) and some wine glass, some junk food and vegged out in front of the TV. Only problem was it was a DVD, and Kevin and his friends were playing poker, not using the TV, and Kevin was the only person who said no to us, so we had to go to the church and set it up to watch. (shaking head!)

There were a lot of things going on, so I guess it had to do with that! (Sorry, can't reveal the details!)

Last night Suzie and I slept in my parents bed, and we stayed up late talking, but I am SO glad we made it to church. The sermon was totally geared toward us about marriage, and everything. It really made me think that sure, I want to get married, and feel loved, but am I ready? All this time I've been praying for the man God has for me to be ready, but now I think I need to work on myself. The first thing is to really consider moving out. I think its time, and with Kevin coming home it is DEFINTELY time!!! Ha ha! :)

after church Suzie and I hung out for a bit, and then it was pretty much a lazy day for me! No vespers, sad! :(

Kevin was in a bit of a mood since his team (football, dallas cowboys!) lost. Football is his passion, and he needs everything perfect otherwise he is M O O D Y (with all caps!) He's a guy, so I guess there's not much I can do about it!

Hopefully he will continue to grow and become more mature, he sure has improved as of late, and I so hope that we have a great Christmas together!

I am getting excited though, just gotta get through the work week and then I am home free! After kev left, I took a bubble bath, with some left over wine, and read! It was Heavenly!

Well, there's my story of a weekend! I will defintely post about Christmas traditions soon, especially BEFORE Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)

Beautiful end to the week!

Great day, I am tired though, so I will post later! Sorry!

Please comment so I know others are reading!

When I got home Kevin and Suzie were here, so we hung out! Making plans for the coming weekend, its soon! YAH!

Have a great night!

Kristin

Surviving the week!!

Beginning of the week was kinda crazy, and not in a good way! Yesterday, for the first time EVER, in my life, I locked my keys in my car, and I couldn't get a hold of my dad, but later I did even though I was kinda freaking out, like, "Why does he have something going on tonight!" Ha ha! :)

Today was a very good day though! My secret santa keeps delivering gifts, so thats fun! I got some candy, a puzzle, and a little santa, that is SO CUTE! Also my co-workers are so great! we have lot's of fun, which our manager is totally okay with! We have so much fun together! Also its been kinda slow at work because the Christmas deadlines have passed, so it will probably pick up after Christmas!

Still getting excited for Christmas, my family is SO MUCH FUN!

Weekend plans:

Friday:
Relax

Saturday:
Go shopping (more Christmas shopping!)
Hang out with Suzie and Kevin

Sunday:
Church
Community group (For sure!)
Hang with Suzie
Relax
No vespers until January!

Next week:
GET THROUGH IT and then CHRISTMAS! YAH! :)

rejoice, rejoice EMANUEL! :)

(Sorry, I love to sing!)

The day looked like this:

Early service with family
Community group with suzie

Instead it happened like this:

Tried for 1st service, skipped community group, overslept and was late to 2nd service. Our old ministers wife sings this song with bells every year and has the kids come up and ring some bells and then we all sing, since she has been doing it FOREVER, but because of my lazy self, I overslept and missed it! It was over when I got to church, but I am so glad that I came in because we had our youth pastor do the sermon, and he is SO great! it was about friendship! He's a very good preacher!

after church Suzie wanted to practice her special for her friends wedding (kev's taking her to!), and its the song "Only Hope!" from Walk to Remember, I love that movie, and the song!

After that Suzie came over, we pigged out on pizza, talked, watched football, took a nap! Then later for supper mom made hamburgers and us girls watched Christmas Shoes, which is based off the song, and it was SOOOOO good! There was one part where I started to cry and then I look over and mom and Suzie were crying too! Then dad came in and looked at all of us and started to laugh, it was kinda funny!

after the movie Suzie and I went to vespers, its the last one until next semester, which stinks, but it was cool because we requested Days of Elijah, which is one of our favorites and they played it, and it was GREAT! We love that song! Worshiping with Suzie is great, she is so into it, and that makes me get into it too!!!

After that we went to Starbucks for some hot chocolate, and just some fellowship, Suzie is so wonderful. She is struggling with some things, and just the way she is handling it is SO WONDERFUL AND GODLIKE! She's great!

Well, that's it for the weekend, it sure flew by, but I am excited about Christmas getting closer, and mom and dad are gone for the weekend, so Suzie is coming over, PARTY!! YAH!

G'night! :)

Beautiful Weekend! :)

I am having a very great weekend! I slept in today, and then sara and I went Christmas shopping, and it was really fun!

Got most of it done, but will probably finish when Jackie comes home the weekend before Christmas, talk about cutting it close, huh?

Well tomorrow, not really sure what is going to happen. Probably do some more Christmas shopping with Suzie this time. Mom and dad will be over at some friends, so we might just relax and chill around the house too. last vespers until middle of january, which is sad, but they do such a wonderful job, so they deserve a break. Hopefully there are more people there then last week!

Well have a great rest of the weekend everyone, Christmas is getting CLOSER! Hooray! :)

What a GREAT day!

It started out kind of rough, with oversleeping, but I wasn't late for work, so that was good. Fridays are casual, and just wearing whatever you want, so thats nice!

The day went so quick, was slow, and we had so much fun! I brought in a lot of my Christmas stuff, so we decorated our pod! It was fun! We are the most Christmasy, and I keep wanting to challenge the other pods, so it's fun!

One of the girls in our pod is pregnant, and she found out she is having a boy, and she wants her baby to have her same initials, and her name is Andrea, and she could not think of an A name that she liked. Jill suggested Anthony, and Tony for short, which Andrea liked, so know we are all trying to take credit for giving her that name!! Ha!

Jill (co-worker) also showed me some of our digital scrapbooking stuff, since it was so slow, and some of it is pretty cool!!

Afterwards we all left work together, "We are leaving as a POD" I said!!! It was just an all around good day!

When I got in the parking lot my car was on, and I was like, "uh oh! Did I leave my car on from lunchtime?" but then my dad showed up in his car, and he had started it and was leaving, but then saw me, came back, and laughed at my confused face! :)

after that I went shopping, and I think Jackie is my easy one to shop for this year! I keep seeing so many things for her, and mom needs some ideas, so......

Also, mom is the hard one to shop for this year!

Looking forward to this weekend:

Tonight: Sleep

Tomorrow:
Sleep in (yes, more sleeping!)
Shop!

Hang with sara, not really sure yet?!?!

Sunday:
Church
Community group with Suzie
Hang with Suzie
Maybe go shopping
Vespers!!

YAH, Christmas is getting closer! I am tired, going to bed! G'night! :)

Another good day, let's keep it going!

No snow either, hooray!!

Day started out great at work! We had a team meeting, which are always fun! We also found out because of all our hard work the president of CM was giving us a personal day off to use whenever!! YAH!!

Work is fun though, and the consultants and my co-workers are nice!

I just love that Christmas is coming up! Its supposed to snow tomorrow, which stinks, but hopefully it doesn't snow that much, because I really want no more, and then to go shopping, but I feel like if it does snow on saturday, I can't go!! AHHHHHH!!!

Oh help! (Maria from the Sound of music!)

Have a good night! Will probably post Sommers family traditions over the weekend, or sometime closer to Christmas!!

LOVE! :)

Let it Snow, let it snow, Let it snow!

Except I don't like snow, i just like that song!!

Driving to work was HORRIBLE this morning, and took forever! My friend was shocked that I made it to work on time!

Work went really good, and very fast! Good day today!

Then dad came to help guide me home. He warmed up my car, scraped by windows, and tried to scrapp everyones windows that I work with. He's such a sweetie, and i love him so much! Then I took him to Mcdonalds for malts, and I just feel badly that the roads weren't as horrible as I thought they were and made him come help me!

The weekend is coming up soon, for me it just feels like its coming, so here are my (tentative) plans:


Friday night:
Work out
Relax

Saturday
christmas shop with Sara

Sunday
Play in the snow with Suzie
no more sunday school
last vespers until middle of Janurary!

Have a good night everyone, and be safe in this weather! I AM SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS COMING UP! HOORAY! :)

Good day was had by me!!

YAH!!


Work went very well! It was fun! It actually went kinda fast! I think just because the holidays are coming up, its just more fun and happy!!

Its supposed to snow tomorrow, which I hope it doesn't. I only like snow when it falls when I'm home and can enjoy it by reading by the fireplace with some hot chocolate, oh I want to do that now!!! (Thanks for giving me that idea!)

Just counting down the days until Christmas! HURRY UP! Then it will come and FLY by, grrr!! Hope u all have a great night, and COMMENT or else! :)

Getting ready for the work week!! (and the holidays!)

I've had such a great weekend! Today starting out kind of rough, by this I mean....


My parents leave super early for the 1st service at church, and we were not plowed out by this time, so I had to go with them, but I ended up oversleeping, so then I thought I would just go to second service and wait for our snow plow to go through, but he was kinda late in the morning, so I was late for church, but I still got there!

Then the afternoon was spent hanging out with my family and Suzie, and watching football, which I am kind of starting to like!! Crazy, I know!

What else did we do....

I burnt two batches of popcorn!!!


Then it was time for the Christmas program, mom and i had to go early because of it being our kids, but the program was fun and "short!" and the kids did great, so now I am done teaching, which is GREAT! I think I am going to go with Suzie to her community group, which will be fun! There was also soup and bread afterward, so I got to know Suzie's friend Tammy more!

After that we got home and relaxed, and said bye to Kev. The plan was to go to Scheels and do some Christmas shopping, but it was closed when we got there! OH WELL! We went to walmart, and suzie got a super cute new coat! She did have one and dad was like, "Get a coat!", so she did!

Then it was Vespers, which was amazing! Not a big turnout of people at all, but it was still fun and it felt really intimate and wonderful. We sang a family favorite: "Days of Elijah!", which I still have in my head!

Then it was time to come home, do some laundry, and get ready for the work week ahead. 3 more weeks until Christmas!! YIPPPEE! I love Christmas!

Have a great night! :)

Happy Weekend!

HOORAY!!!

What a great weekend! Yesterday though was a different story. It was month end at work, and needless to say, it was crazy!! It was so busy, and I worked for 10 hours, which was a LONG day! When I got home though mom, dad, Jackie, and I , and later Kev, watched High School musical, and it was SO GOOD!!! I thought it would be stupid, but I suppose I should listen to my sister because she has very good tastes in musicals, which I love!!

We stayed up late talking, and then EARLY, EARLY this morning my mom, sister, and I went scrapbooking at work which was fun! The females in my family are very crazy, so we made it fun! I also got paid overtime to scrapbook for 4 hours, how cool is that?

I am very excited about the holidays. In the coming weeks I am going to write about the crazy and super fun Sommers family Christmas traditions, so make sure you toon in!

What else did I do later today: NOTHING with Kev and the fam, and it was SO fun! :)

Have a great weekend!
