Epic Christmas

It's the most wonderful time of the year! (Spending time with family and friends and stuffing our bellies until we pass out does sound wonderful, right?) A not-so-wonderful thing -for me, anyway-- is getting up at the buttcrack of dawn. This morning, for example, I literally ROLLED out of my bed. Kim came in first. She did not succeed in waking me from my slumber. Josh and La came next. I'm already used to ignoring them in the morning when they turn on my light and jump on me. So they finally give up. I think I got a couple more minutes to rest when I was being shaken and somebody was stealing my blanket and I felt my eyes stinging from the too too too bright light. Emily thinks she's so big and bad for being the only one to successfully get me out of the bed. But, like I said, I wound up on the floor somehow. We had a nice morning, despite the rough beginning, though. After we were done with opening presents and taking embarassing pictures, the wonderful grandparents came over and made biscuits and gravy for us. (YUM!) We're having a brief intermission now. We're supposed to be having one heck of a Christmas feast at the grandparents house in a bit. It's going to be epic. ...I'm going to start my "diet" next year... -LizMarie
