Holidays

I didnt type a blog about Christmas I am a slacker. Ok well here it goes.
Christmas Eve.
I got off work at about 3pm, drove to Dads. We took my Uncle John and his son Tyler to Logans for dinner. When we got back to the house, I realized that I hadnt wrapped any of Dads gifts! I am such a slacker. So I wrapped his gifts and put them under our Charlie Brown tree. (Its a tree that sits on a end table, seriously). We had a discussion as to when we should open our gifts since we were leaving for Charleston EARLY Christmas Morning. Dad wanted to open them that night. He's a big kid he really is. Its was quite cute watching him open his gifts! I was just as excited about my gifts too. I got a steamer! I dont iron so thats a perfect alternative.
Christmas Morning.
I got up at 7am, and fought off the urge to take off running down the hall to see what I got. Everything was still sitting in the floor so I saw no point in being in a hurry. I managed to pull my lazy self out of bed sat at my kitchen table complaining because I wanted to go back to bed. We packed up Christmas presents and our stuff to head to Charleston. Dad put Karen's address in the GPS. The GPS took us all over the place. I didnt ever think we were gonna get to I-95. We finally got on I-95. Once on I-95 I started to count the South of the Border signs since there is one every 100 yards. I tried to get dad to stop at South of the Border so I could get some fireworks, he said no. This depressed me. We were on I-95 for what seemed like an eternity. We got off I-95 onto 26 to Charleston. I dont know how anyone can stay awake on taht stretch of road, trees on both sides. Incredibly boring. We finally got to Charleston and the GPS did manage to succesful guide us right to Karen's house. We parked and I climbed out of the truck and it was hot. I mean 80 degrees hot. I had on a sweatshirt, that immediatly came off! Immediatly!
Christmas Day Part 2
My cousin Paul and Uncle Mitchell were already there. I had never been in their new house. It is quite nice. Ian was sitting in the play room watching a movie. Caleb was playing with some toys. Karen was in the living room and Danny was outside cooking up some oysters. Aunt Dottie showed up a short time later. She had some mini crab cakes, that were amazing. Just wanted to mention that. I took the tour of the house. I really like it. Really. We all kinda congregated and just chatted and goofed off for a while. There was no formality in this Christmas dinner. We put up a collapsable table in the screened in porch. Dad, Paul, Uncle Mitchell and danny were shucking oysters and Ian kept saying I want a baby oyster. It was adorable. i attacked the crablegs. When I say attacked. I mean attacked. After the crablegs I sat outside and shucked oysters and chatted. It was nice. Then I needed a nap, no nap would be afforded to me. We opened gifts, let me rephrase, Caleb and Ian opened our gifts. The rest of the day we spend Wii bowling! That was fun. I collapsed when I went ot bed, I was exhausted!
It was a good day!
