What I got: Coach flats, Zara lace skirt, Bebe shirt, and my baby Alexander (my 13in Macbook pro, yes I named him, don't judge me) from JP. Cash from Pops. Bath stuff (loofa, shower gel, etc) from the kids. Sweater and matching pashmina from an aunt. Bath and Body Works set from Laos Secret Santa (Pastor Wesley). More cash from my godfather.
Who was here: Anderson, Emma, Keri, Rob, Joel, Chelton, Dana and a random assortment of my never ending family. And Andy, via facetime.
What we ate: for brunch, I made red velvet pancakes with toasted pecans and a maple cream cheese glaze (thank you Resha), scrambled eggs and turkey bacon with Anderson's special hot chocolate. Keri's red and green spicy cheese paste sandwiches were freaking delicious and held us over til dinner. For dinner, JP and my aunts served a feast: curry goat, coocoo, calaloo, dumpling and peas, baked chicken and potatoes, rice, bbq wings, pasta salad, etc, etc, blah diddy blah blah blah. And of course, black cake and JP's ribbon cake for dessert.
What we did (besides cook): Watched the games (LAKE SHOW!!), played Uno (Joel is a failure once more), and talked all kinds of foolishness. Jokes for days.
All in all, it was one of the better Christmases. Definitely the best one I've had in at least the last three years, quite possibly more. I have the best best friends, I don't think I'll ever stop saying that. It wouldn't have been the same without them. And after all of that, a certain someone showed up to put the butterflies back into my stomach. I have a feeling this will be a very happy new year indeed. I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday and I wish you all blessings for the new year.
