So i have spent the last couple days just relaxing. I had a super long hot-tub with my little brother (colin...the 20 year old) the other night. we had a good long chat. Talked about jobs and life and friends and drama etc. I showed him a bunch of the pictures (from parties and the like) and he said he was jealous. Crazy hey...jealous? But then i thought about it for a second, and i decided...yeah, it is something to be jealous of. We have some fun times indeed.
Yesterday we went tree hunting. While we were gone my mother and her friend baked cookies and made jelly. The house smelled amazing when we returned with our spoils. we found (okay, okay robin found) the best tree ever and my two brothers and i decorated it. It is beautiful...im so talented.
Tonight is solstice and we are having people over. We're going to light a giant bonfire and eat lots of good food. It should be cool. Im looking forward to it. Lots of family friends and people I haven't seen in a coons age. haha, i just said coons age! I think secretly, im a 80 year old woman.
Favorite Christmas/Holidays...Things:
-The tree in all its glory(especially the process of hunting it)
-Having my family all together(maybe that should be first on my list hey?)
-Holiday parties
-Nuts in their shells (my dogs love them too...ive been stepping on shells for the past two days)
