A Cold, Snowy Day

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!!!!!!! We went to church at 11:30 on Christmas eve, and the service was awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus is the true reason for the season!!!!

So its snowing right now, and I’m absolutely freezing!!!! I’m already small, and I get cold really easily, so now I feel like a popsicle!!!! I have a pedometer/pulse thing and my fingers are so cold that it doesn’t even register a pulse for me. So basically, according to my pedometer, I’m either dead or a vampire! =D

Today’s my birthday party, too!!!!! I’m going to a hotel with a couple of close friends and we’re going to watch movies and have fondue!! I bought slippers as a party favor! =D Its going to be a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!! I bought pretzels, apples, bananas, pineapple, and marshmellows to dunk in the chocolate. We actually have 3 different “recipes” for fondue, so if one doesn’t work, we have a backup. The first is evaporated milk, cocoa and sugar, the second is just some melted chocolate bark, and the last is chocolate chips that will be melted in something or another….maybe some evaporated milk or something! =D Anyway, I’m super excited!!!!!!!

So what did ya’ll do on Christmas?????

I haven’t been blogging for very long, but I already love it!!!! I just want to thank everyone who reads this blog!!!!! =D

Hope you have a good rest of the day!!!!

Christmas with the Family

 Morning!!!!

Glad ya’ll liked yesterday’s guest post! Ann Claire is awesome, and I personally thought that her 5 minute fudge look wonderful! Go check out her blog, The Flourishing Foodie! Today, I have a guest post up there!!! Here’s the link:http://theflourishingfoodie.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/being-a-healthy-teen-today/.

Anyway, tonight I have Christmas with my mom’s side of the family. There are people who just moved back from New Jersey and who are coming in from Texas, so I’m super excited to see everyone! My mom’s family is really large. We even have to write our names on cups so that we know whose cup is where. And also so we don’t go through 15 bags of plastic cups. =D

We’re doing a gift swap and a light dinner. It’s gonna be fun!!!!

So last night we went to see “The Tourist” with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. It was entertaining, not lifechanging or anything, but there were a couple of twists in the story. Then we came home and watched “The Family Man” with Nicolas Cage, which was cute, too.

So all in all, it was a pretty fun Friday, and I think that we’re gonna havea pretty fun weekend, too!

Guess what? I just found out that it snowed last night. Brrrr

Is anyone having warm weather? If so, could you send some to me????

Its Snowing!!!!

There’s snow on the ground in West Virginia!!!! Brrrrr. I haven’t seen snow in 7 years!!!!

We got here yesterday afternoon, and have had a wonderful time so far. Its so great to see my family and spend some quality time with them.

As for yesterday’s post, it was hard to write originally, but after I had finished, I felt so much better. Even now, I still avoid talking about it, even with my family. My family and friends have been so amazing. I thank God for them every day.

Anyway, we’ve been super busy, which is why I haven’t posted earlier. We left our house on Thursday, and got into our hotel, which was the halfway point of our trip, just as it started to snow. We were worried that we wouldn’t be able to leave the next morning, but it was all fine. We even got in earlier than expected!!!! Last night, we had this wonderful soup made with leftover turkey, rice, and fresh veggies!!!! It was an amazing and creative way to use up those Thanksgiving leftovers. We then spent time just chatting and visiting about what all has been going on. It was so much fun!!!!

We then got up this morning, and went out to set up some Christmas trees. When do you set up your Christmas trees? Right after Thanksgiving or right before Christmas?

We just got back from some of my other cousins’ house, where we had sandwiches for lunch. We watched home videos, and some of us played a game called Don’t break the chain. It was pretty funny!!!!! Now, there’s an Arkansas game going on and some of the guys are watching that. We’re all going to get together again tonight for fajitas!!!! Yummy!!!

That’s really all that’s going on right now…

I hope you all are nice and warm!!!!!
