Holidays 2008

New Years:

New years eve was uneventful. I ended up having to work at 10 p.m. that night. Chris stayed home. He finally got out his Christmas gift, Guitar Hero World Tour, and was playing it before I left. Triston was a little jelous and wanted to play with dad's drum, so I got Chris' old drums out for him to play with. They were just the right size.

Aren't they cute!!

As for me I tried to celebrate it at work, but pt needed always need help when you don't want them too. I brought sparkling cider to celebrate with everyone, so we drank that though out the night. I also cooked sukiykai (Japanese food) for everyone. It was really delicious. As for New Years Day we just stayed home. I slept most of the day and had to go back to work that night.

Christmas Eve:

Christmas this year was pretty eventful. I decided to host a Christmas eve dinner. I think that it turned out ok. My guests were my dad, Katelyn, Shara, Chris' dad, Fred, his wife Jaelann and Auto his Freds son. I cooked Tri Tip steak with mash potatoes. It was really taste.

Our guesses were Chris' biological dad Fred and his wife Jaelann and Freds son Auto. Chris dad Richard, my dad Mike, my sister Katelyn and our neice Shara.

I wanted to start a new tradition. Triston got to open a present early on Christmas Eve. Of course it was his pajamas. They were dogs dressed up like reindeer. They were really cute, to bad he doesn't like them much, because they have feet.

Everyone went home about 9 p.m. except Katelyn. She stayed after to play rockband. I finally took her home about 11 p.m. because Shara was fussy and it was passed her bedtime. I was very lucky to get home ok. The roads where horrible, I almost got stuck. I hate to drive in snow.

Christmas Day :

On Christmas Day we didn't wake up until 9 a.m. We tried to open presents, but Triston open his first present (Handy Manny tools) and didn't want to open any more. We had to help him a little.

After we opened presents we got ready and drove in a blizzard to go to my brother Sam's house to have Christmas breakfast and to open family presents. We stayed and played a while then we went to my Grandma Swenson's house to visit them on Christmas and to give them their gifts. After Grandma's house we came home a passed out. What an exhausting day, but we had fun.
