CHRISTMAS.

it was an amazing holiday. it really didn't "feel" like Christmas though... but, just being able to spend time with friends and family.

sunday, hit up church with my family (blood & team). we filled up a whole row at church - pretty cool, eh? mr. okerlund, mrs. okerlund, and seth came through. as well as chris, his mom, kaelani, and brianna. my sisters and brother in law came too! they all loved the production that evan put together. it was deep.

monday, i hung out with caroline, chris, kaelani, and brianna. it was an even more awesome day for me and caroline 'cuz our "movement" tucked in was a huge success! there were so many people that donated new and used blankets for our cause!

we hit up buena park and didn't find too many people out on the streets... which is definitely a great sign! i did, however, visit my friend betty sue, who we gave a blanket to. because we couldn't find too many people in buena park, we decided to hit up an area we knew for sure we could find people to help - downtown long beach. we got there and donated every last blanket we had. amazing! the looks on their faces was amazing. it was awesome to be able to bless even just a few people on Christmas eve.

tuesday, family day. we had an ugly Christmas sweater themed party at my sister's house... and yup, i won! i'll throw the picture of me and my sweater up as soon as i get 'em from my sister... it was awesome to hang with my family... i got a $25 dollar gift certificate to olive garden/red lobster/some other resturantns from the white elephant game we played, i got $100 from my aunt, $100 from my sister, $50 from my cousin, $50 from my mom, and my other sister got me the #1 thing on my Christmas list - the ultimate bible experience. she got me the COMPLETE SET! how awesome is that?!?

but yeah - needless to say - it was an awesome holiday! i'm ready for 2008! are you?
