turkey and sweet potatoes

Well today is thanksgiving day. Probably the most uneventful Thanksgiving I have ever had. After sleeping until 2:15 today I didn't do much except put up the Christmas tree. I couldn't believe I let myself sleep that late, it made me very mad at myself. But oh well it's not like I would have been doing anything productive anyways.
Mom and I drove down to Ecie and Tom's house at about 4:30 and sat around watching football games and reading books, we ate, I got a stomach ache even though I barely ate anything and so I went to lay on the bed and read some more. That was nice.
I am excited to go home and put up the lights and ornaments on our tree and put our giant snowman on the front lawn. I love Christmas decorations. We got out all of our nutcrackers, we have probably about 20 of them. They are so cool. I love nutcrackers, they make me happy, along with everything anything and everything else that has to do with Christmas...lol
I miss Laurie and Mike allot. We talked to them a little while ago on speakerphone, they seem happy, but I am going to remain selfish and wish they were here with me this Christmas. I asked Mom today how much it would cost to fly them down here and she said, "About a thousand dollars," well there goes that idea ): I guess I will just have to fly down sometime...Ha ha that's funny.
We leave tomorrow for Huntsville to stay with my aunt and uncle at their lake house, which will be pretty fun, although I was hoping to be able to go shopping with Sydni before we left, oh well, things don't always work out the way I want them to.
We talked to Eric on the web cam last night. That was fun. He kept himself entertained the whole time by making faces into the camera. I miss him. I'm glad Chris and Corrie are going to be here this Christmas. I think that'll help make it not quite so hard. I wish he could somehow come up here for Christmas and then he could go back the next week, but I know that could never work. I'm kind of jealous of him actually cause he gets to be with the entire DeVries family for Christmas. No fair! I am excited about tomorrow cause I will probably be able to drive allot on the way to Huntsville. I can't wait till I have my licence. I get a car for almost exactly a month before Eric comes home to take it from me again :p Oh well, better than nothing. I'm going to learn how to drive the Hyundai soon, it's a stick shift so it's going to be very interesting to see how I do. Hopefully dad will have allot of patience...lol
OK well the bed/book are calling my name so i am going to depart for now. Goodbye.
