Holidays!

Holidays!

Recount of Family Holidays (We have our Christmas with the family early!)

So!  On a lighter note, here holiday news!

Thanksgiving was super... awkward.  First time i'd seen most of the family since.. well, 4 years.  Christmas was much better.  Sal wasnt sick and joined us so I had someone I could actually talk to (What?!  its a damn 9+ year gap between me and everyone else!)

My 2 youngest cousins, dear lord they look like bloody twins.  I heard their mother get them mixed up a time or two.  You wouldnt believe there was a 3-4 year difference.  Similar hieght, size, voices are pretty close too...  Its uncanny.  But who knows, both are still in Middle school, there is atleast 1 more good growth spurt, one might end up 6'8" and the other hangs about 5'6" (speaking of which, they are both about 5'3" and they are enjoying not being the shortest.  My grandma and their mom has that honor now.)

My oldest cousin (like 9 years younger then me still.. Yah, im old) is in high school and shes trying so hard to push out of the kid circle and be a "adult."  I say shes dumb, enjoy the kid circle, the adults are boring.. xD  But Christmas she decided it was more fun talking to the younger adults (aka us) since we hung out with the kids to eat and chat.  We actually talk back to her and talk about things besides the basic "Hows school, what grade you in now?"  Trust me kid, I hated those too.  And I was the only grandchild for 9 years and got asked what grade I was in every year still.

The 2nd oldest is just getting to high school and hit that "Im too cool/this is so dull, why am I here?" phase.  Sucks for her, I make a living out of busting people out of that.  I made her crack a smile atleast 6 times and I think she hated me so much for it.  But hey, what can I say?  I cant stand seeing people upset!  Plus, making people laugh is one of my few talents.

And im so sorry to my aunt!  I think I beat her out for being the mac and cheese maker.  Grandma loves mac and cheese and I just have a great recipe.  Usually we had to bring rolls and stuff cuz we lived so far away, but now were the closes so we can actually offer cooked goods.  Though my cooked dishes didnt get much love.  Next gathering im just making a quick sheet cake.  Everyone loves cake.  And no one can beat my cakes!

But Thats about all of interest that happened unless you wanna hear about my mom and her siblings arguing over a lunchbox and them going through pictures.. Or how my entire family thought I bought my christmas cards.. *eye twitch*  even though the image has my signature.. And website... And character..

Im going to stop there... x.x
