Christmas 2009

Well apparently I don't have any pictures from Christmas this year, so I will have to wait for Brian to send some over!

Christmas Eve we had chicken curry with all the fixings at my parent's house. Then Brian and I drove all the way back to Long Beach for Midnight Mass at OLR (the church we are getting married at). It was awesome as usual - except for the lady sitting behind us who couldn't sing for crap. She was singing so LOUD that I couldn't hear the beautiful choir half the time, and it was so off key people rows ahead of us were turning around to see what that horrible sound was. I just don't understand how you can be completely oblivious to something like that. And if she wasn't oblivious to how bad she sang, then she has absolutely no sympathy for those around her. GRRRR. I came home with ringing ears, I kid you not.

Thankfully she shut up for the finale, because that was so beautiful. We have some of the best singers at OLR. The year before a lady had a solo and Brian cried he said it was so beautiful. We rock.

After that I drove back to my house again, went to bed, and then got up for Christmas morning at 9. I got a new purse, some hair stuff, a nifty purse thing that keeps your keys in one spot. Lots of practical presents this year. Then I took an hour nap before driving to Brian's house to celebrate Christmas there! I got a video game, another new purse, a sweater and scarf, and some movies. Yay! We had a quick bite to eat before heading off to our next destination - Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Steve's.

There was lots of yummy food to snack on, and plenty to do with Grant, my little cousin. Brian and I bought him a Lego Star Wars set so we set that all up and played with it. My parents and Chris showed up a little late, but soon dinner was ready! We had split pea soup, a salad, then pork chops with roasted vegetables and scalloped potatoes. YUM. Suzanne and I talked about some wedding stuff, and then it was time to go. At least I didn't have to drive the whole hour home - I stayed at Brian's house instead. So yeah, that was my Christmas!

We have plans to see Sherlock Homes Thursday, and then go to a New Years Eve party that night. I think my mom is also having a New Years Day dinner as well. Tis the season to be busy! Hope 2010 is even better!
