CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!


ok, i know cassi just posted a quetion, but i don't do posts very often, especially because i have no idea what to say! so i actually thought of something and thought i should post it while i had the idea! :)
we've had sooo many christmas traditions it's crazy!!! there's the christmas-tree cabin with the evans, traditions within the cabin like going to a movie, christmas eve dinner with the evans, acting out the nativity story, getting pj's, writing goals as our gifts, scavenger hunt of some sort, sleeping together, waking up super early, walking in order of age down or up the stairs, eating a huge delicious christmas breakfast, and do we go to a movie? hmmm...well that's all i can think of! i love our traditions i think they bring us together as a family!! :D so what is your favorite?

really? i'm parker's age? CRAZY! he's so old!!! anyway...yeah, that's true, i was having a hard time picking too! those are good ones though! but let's see...i've always loved the one where we all sleep in the same room...probably because i'm so much younger than you all that it was one of the times i actually felt like you liked me or i was part of you or something! hohoho....i don't know...not like you guys did anything to make me feel like you didn't like me but you know how it is...anyway, that's just a guess, plus i just always thought it was really fun, especially when b had crazy christmas dreams about the home alone lady!!! i also love the spring break trip one...i guess i just love all of them too! it is hard to pick! but i think it's cool that we're planing to pass them on to our kids and stuff! man, i love christmas!!! :D

No Ash pretty sure Parker is not that old you were just young there:).. i'm sorry you thought we didn't like you for whatever reason.. hopefully you are over that.. I am sad o say the tradition you picked as the favorite is one of the only ones that cannot continue forever since we will all eventually get married and not be in the same places alwasy but those will soon become the best christmas memories and whenever we are all together on christmas in te future it will be all that more special to all be together:).. I LOVE all the traditions but its a little different for me now and I have realized that I LOVE every tradition and they were all sooo important to me before but now the one thing I really care about is just all being together.. like when Cassi and Brian come.. if we can't do every tradition I don't care as much cause atleast we are all there and things do have to change but I just LOVE having the whole family there.. its sooo awesome!!! of course I Want everything to last forever.. but not getting Cassi and he fam every year makes it more sad then not doing eery tradtion.. which i guess is why when they arent here I wanna do EVERYTHING but when they are I'm ok with whatever happens!!! but Breakfast and waking up early and of course Christmas EVE my favorites I wanna always do!!!

Wow Kie! That was quite the comment, got a little deep there :) What a good view! I love having everyone together, too, I mean, are we all counting down the days till Christmas, or till Cassi comes?? I also don't like having to share Kie on Christmas...but that's better than her living in another part of the country, so I'll try to not complain. :)

Echo Brie - "wow Kie" - that was "touchingly deep" (can I make up words?). Very insightful. Thank you.

Personally - still hate the "get up early" thing - can we please sleep in this year?

Kiera said...

hm... I didn't mean to make that a deep comment..I was just talking! I guess it sorta turned out to be.. thats what i get for not reading it after (that and really bad spelling and punctation.. but my keyboad sucks so I don't care).. :)

haha kie it's not BAD to leave a "deep" comment! it was very insightful though and i do see the reasoning behind everything now...sometimes i just feel like me "life as i know it" is ending a lot quicker than all of yours because i'm the youngest so you're all moving out and changing your views and i'm sutck not able to do things as long as you were all able! i have to be stuck being the youngest with the older sisters who are moving on from Christmas traditions, and even when i was little and B didn't play with me anymore and stuff! it's always sad to me but i never feel like i have a time to express it! oh well...
