MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Merry Christmas from Kentucky! I made it alive as you can see..and I was excited to discover that the drive is actually 8 hours instead of 10 lol. I drove for the first time on a freeway on the way up here which was pretty crazy! I did well but I don't think my Aunt Lil (grandma's best friend in the army) was too comfy with me driving her brand new 50 000 dollar car ...

On another note...
we got into Wallins Creek Kentucky at about 930pm on the 23rd and I was crazy excited to see my grandparents and Aunt Delcia! We walked in and found about a ton of presents under their beautifully decorated Christmas tree. JUST to point out to you, my Mom, Daron, sister and I had already opened our gifts from eachother before our trip so this was a huge surprise..
Our Christmas Eve was great fun as it started by waking up at 1030, eating my Aunt Delcia's famous scrambled eggs and toast with rhubarb jelly, and then making our way to the Patton family traditional lunch place---> WENDY's

I certainly found this amusing but enjoyed my baked potato immensely..: )
ANOTHER family tradition here is to open gifts on Christmas Eve...which is when I got the laptop on which I'm typing this blog! I also got a few new purses, some candy, cash, a new makeup brush kit, and new pajamas of course!
I think besides Wendy's one of the funniest thing we did was to, as a family, scratch off our christmas stocking scratchers!! lol of COURSE Hannah was the only one who won anything, but it was fun all the same.

Christmas day was full of LAZINESS...lol we ate, rested, ate, rested, and ate again, all the while visiting one another and enjoying our Christmas gifts. tonight we went over to my aunt's and sang out of the hymnal while Mom played the Christmas music on the piano. It's always nice to sing with mom, we connect through music that way : )

ALL AROUND, I think that my Christmas was extremely enjoyable and I can't wait to start school soon!

TIME FOR FAMILY GAMES!
