mini family reunion i.e. christmas

This much needed break has been amazing so far. Allow me to express the absolutely and impossibly amazingness of it all...
eexciting event numero uno: to jump start my christmas vaca, thursday night (last week) shay and i drove out to the airport to pick up my grandparents from idaho.
e friday i got to hang with the coolest 9 year old i've ever met..my cousin, maybe. (uncle kevin remarried and his current wife, meg, has 2 daughters, kirkland & kyra) kirkland couldn't make it, but kyra was here. she's so rowdy and perfect. i want her to be my little sister.
e i took my first passenger (kyra) on the dirt bike. i was kinda nervous, but it was grand. then we had a snowball fight.
e christmas eve, went to service, then justin and i took care of the whole santa clause bit for kyra to be stunned with in the manana. it looked amazing. we had carrot pieces scattered all over the deck (reindeer of course). then justin and i stayed up way late, mainly watching shakespear in love (it was on ok..) and trying to get ourselves psyched up for christmas. didn't really work.
e christmas was splendid..actually it was different than any other christmas i've experienced. i guess you could just say that christmas is for the kids.
e somewhere in the mix, i ate duck, and crawfish or some nonsense. kevin made 'gumbo' the state food of southern arkansas er sumthin.
e on christmas day, after all the festivities (about 8pm) i drove justin and kim back to manhattan, the most well known city by their town of wamego, the most well known small town next to their hometown of louisville, kansas. then me and the boy drove from louyville to manhattan, and we got lost. then we went back and chilled. watched elf and such. and i stayed the night. and in the morning we had mochas at the perk. then i drove back to topeka.
e that reminds me...i now drink coffee. mochas, half-caffs, fraps, lattes, rather soothing that java stuff.
e i've discovered limewire. and i now download music for free. and i love it. i absolutely love it.
e saw elizabethtown with the females of the fam. its real good.
e i leave for colorado tomorrow. :D with ma, pa, and justin. we gonna shred it up!
e my grandma (from in town) had me meet yet another 18 year old guy. i doen't know how, or why, she does it. she picks up more guys than i do. haha. but yes the dude's from india and works at the coffee shop where she goes every morning. she invited me to go with her the other day. truth be told, i just wanted to get my caffiene deprived paws on some more jjjjjjava.
