Christmas at 118

So I am down at my Aunts for Christmas. She lives in West Hempstead, NY in Long Island. What an awesome time. We had a few aunts, a few uncles, a few cousins, and a few friends, all coming together. Liz yet again outdid herself with the Baking. She made Reese's peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies, chocolate chip, and so many others, including an experimental mint chocolate chip icecream cake that turned out to be awesome.

Bella had a great time with her first Christmas in our family. She tried playing with the cats as she usually does and got hissed at. Bella just wants to play. Bella loved her presents; all of which were clearance stuffed animals. She has already taken apart the bone shaped one and has moved on to the christmas tree.


While we were opening gifts, Scout, one of the cats decided to come check out the paper and chew on the garbage bag strings. He encountered my traditional Hess Truck gift with a Truck and Race car. Hess Truck Kitty!

I got an awesome gift from my mother. A picture frame with GAWORS written with photographs. Take a look at the Gawors Picture Frame!

Below is the tradition of the Town of West Hempstead. The fire department drives Santa around on a fire truck with all the light and sirens going. Santa's truck is all decked out in multicolored christmas lights and looks spectacular. You'll also see my Uncle Gary waving the American flag for the brave firefighters.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

My 22nd Birthday!

This will be short but let's go over it. My 22nd birthday - wonderful 22nd gathering with some old friends. It was nice. And of course instead of having cake, we had a cheesecake :-)

Now let's step back for a moment. After I raced in Binghamton for the January Freeze 10k I drove home that Sunday night at around 6. I got home with my mother greeting me. She had had me call home 2-3 times before I actually got to Middletown. Why? Why this madness? I walked into my room with my father in my chair and my mother on my bed petting my new Golden Retriever, Bella! She is beautiful :-) She is a wonderful puppy who was terrified at first when my parents brought her home. They rescued her from the Middletown Humane Society. She wouldn't move. We had to carry her outside to go to the bathroom, into the living room, and into the bedroom.

It's a few days later and she is running around chewing things up. I miss her but we bonded quite well before I left for Vail.
