When People think of Christmas they think of gifts and cheer
But all I care on Christmas is that my family's here.
On Christmas a main topic is Santa and Reindeer
But all I care on Christmas is that my Lord is near.
These Holidays have been wonderful but they just go by so fast! The whole family was here for Christmas, but Acacia went down to California to spend the New Year with some other friends in Joshua Tree. The rest of us are here chillin, spending family time, talking about St. John's, watching rockin' movies, playing cards, going to the Aquarium, Sculpture place and Pike's Place Public Market. Family is truly what I'm thankful for.
I've been holding off blogging to spend time with the family, so don't think I forgot. I have a lot of pictures.
It did end up snowing on Christmas and was sunny on Christmas Eve and sunny yesterday(New Year's Eve). I cannot believe another year has gone by. The world feels so old and I feel so old.
We have to start school again tomorrow, I'm going to be brain dead. I think I'll get back to gym pretty fast because I did CrossFit on Saturday(I miss Crossfit soooo much!) and went to Vertical World on Sunday with Papa and Aimee. That was a lot of fun. I bench pressed my bodyweight:)
