Tuesday 12/26, I got up at 9:00 and Auntie was making breakfast so I sat on the couch with Dad to look at trailers for the property. For breakfast we had blueberry muffins, eggs and ham. I got ready after breakfast because Kassie’s and my movie started first so we got out of there around noon and headed to the mall. We got our tickets and went in. I’d already seen it (Holiday) and knew I’d made the right decision as soon as Jude Law appeared on screen. After the movie we hit Barnes and Noble so Kassie could pick up maps of Baja because her and S are going there for 3 weeks. We went home and waited for Dad and Uncle Brad to get back then K and S took off and the three of us headed to Kyoto’s to meet up with the rest of the girls. We had a great dinner and our chef was very good but almost lit us all on fire and had everyone in the restaurant looking at our table. After dinner Hailey, Lish, Aubs and I went back to BN so they could pick up books and magazines and such. When we got home I had a few cookies and we all congregated in the family room to watch Talladega Nights. Auntie Heidi made homemade caramel corn which was so good and sticky. The movie was good but I’m pretty sure Dad almost died a few times. I talked to Auntie Lauryn on the phone for a little while then read Q for a few minutes and went to sleep.
Monday 12/25, I woke up at 7:30 and woke K and S up too to head over to Mom’s. I left before they did and helped clean up at Mom’s before everyone got there. Grandma wasn’t feeling well so her and Grandpa ended up not coming over which made everyone sad but didn’t want her to get sicker by coming over. Finally K and S showed up and we started opening presents. I got some nice things and then had to go on a scavenger hunt to find my last one, which was a new rug for my dining room. We were running late and didn’t leave until 10:30 with me leaving first because I took a little detour to make sure the cookies were rescued from the front step. I called Aubs then drove by and was pleased to see they were gone so I hung up with her and hit the road up to Bellingham. I got there right before 1:00 with Kassie about 10 minutes behind. We got the stockings going then the presents, which ended up taking about an hour and a half. We all got some really nice things and some cash which was unexpected but nice then we cleaned up and got the food out. We all laughed heartily when Uncle Brad asked Lish to whack him off…a piece of that salmon, then he told us we were all sick. Some of us ended up back in the living room talking on multiple occasions but usually it was Hailey, Aubrie and me. Around 8:30 it was time for dinner and we were having prime rib, twice baked potatoes, Auntie’s famous salad, rolls and green beans. I got a deck of cards in my popper and dinner was a lot of fun with everyone talking over everyone else, plus it was delicious. For dessert Auntie made homemade puff pastries with homemade whipped cream, ice cream and raspberries. We were all very full by the end of it. Mom got Christmas bingo so we all gathered in the family room and played that for a few rounds before watching tv and talking some more. I played the Boy Game by myself with my new cards and it was very accurate as always. I read a little of my Q and went to bed around midnight.
Sunday 12/24, I forgot to turn on my alarm so we woke up a little after 8, got up and out of the house in about 20 minutes. We busted ass up to Everett to Rose’s for breakfast and present exchange. We beat K and S and sat talking until they got there. We went to breakfast and then back to Rose’s. I felt bad when we left because she started to cry but didn’t want Aubrie and me to see, so then I felt really terrible on my way home. I called Chrystol because I wanted to drop off some penis cookies, but she was already in Anacortes but we made plans to get together when she returns. When I got home I took a shower, climbed into bed and watched Finding Neverland. I started getting dressed and doing laundry when K and S came home. I got to Mom’s at 5:30 and hung some ornaments and cut up a baguette. Peggy and Jim got there, then Grandma and Grandpa and we all sat around talking and eating. K and S showed up and eventually dinner got underway. After dinner we all went back into the family room and had the cheese coarse then started opening gifts. I got two more pillows for my couch and a spa day from Peggy as well as some items from L’Occitaine and another time-share trip. We ate dessert which was really good and continued to chat. Finally everyone was gone and I took off. Called Aubrie on my way home about our Eric task so we conspired and I got some gas and went home. Did more laundry, packed for Bellingham and got ready for bed.
Saturday 12/23, I woke up at 8:00 and started getting dressed and preparing to make waffles. Mom and Dad got there so we took off for Lowe’s, picked out my new toilet and supplies then headed home. Justin was there when we got back so we had a full house. I got going on the waffles while Kassie prepared the fresh strawberries and blueberries. They seemed to go over well and while I was cleaning up Alishia called and said she had landed so the three of us girls headed down while Dad and the boys got going on my toilet. We picked her up and when we got home everyone was still there but they eventually started trickling out. Dad finished the jobs and then they got going too. Aubrie, Alishia and I headed down to Tofeo to pick up the pictures and met Kassie down there, they look fantastic, then we all walked over to a nursery and Kassie picked up a gate for Mom and I went overboard lecturing Alishia about her finances and decisions. We then met up with Derek, one of Kassie’s friends, and all walked to Essential Baking Company for lunch. I had a fantastic sandwich with balsamic and mozerella and tomato and some other wonderful items. We walk back to the cars and the three of us girls head over toward Kay-See’s, make a stop at the store for some cookie-baking supplies then head up to her place. We got going on the cookie dough and in one of the batches we used some wheat flour and hoped for the best. The dough had to refrigerate for an hour so we walked down to Anthropologie and I tried on 5 dresses and though one looked really cute on, I couldn’t justify buying it, so I bought Kassie’s present and we went back. The dough was ready so I was in charge of doing the shapes and I used mostly the penis shaped cutters but threw in a few X-Mas ones just to have something to show the parents and coworkers. The made some with Eric in mind and were all laughing so hard. Kay-See’s cookies were the most perverted…go figure. Ha! We took some pictures and celebrated when the last batch went in. Kay-See gave me this great coffee table book with anonymous postcard confessions and a funny magnet so we used the box and to wrap up a bunch of cookies for Eric then wrapped them up with a big Christmas bow. We helped clean up a little then took off around 7:30. We went to Eric’s and strategized in the car then did one drive by before going in for the kill. His car and motorcycle were there but all the lights were off so Aubs stuck the cookies on the top step and then proceeded, against our specific instructions, to ring the doorbell. Three times. Then almost ate shit running back to the car, jumped in and I hit the gas. Who knows if he was even there. We drove home, finished Snatch, made a veggie pizza and turned on Greek Wedding. Aubrie and I fell asleep and after it was over headed upstairs to bed, but then Alishia had an unexpected thing happen on myspace so she was really upset and we talked about it for a long time and finally she was ok so we all went to bed.
Friday 12/22, I got off work a little tiny bit late and talked to Mom and Dad who said they would meet me at my house with Aubs. We all went in and I showed them the new couch and carpet and everything that had changed since the last time each were there. We went upstairs and I was showing Dad my noisy toilet and he asked why I didn’t just buy a new one and I told him that buying it is the easy part, it’s putting it in that’s tricky. So then, while Dad is bent over the toilet looking at the water shut off, Mom silently points at Dad, nominating him for the task. Dad agreed and said they could come back in the morning, we could go out and get a toilet and he would install it and the new shower head I bought for Kassie’s bathroom. This made me very happy. We decided to head to the restaurant for dinner and planned to see Kassie whenever she showed up there. Dinner was good and the four of us were having a nice time talking and joking and Aubrie and I were mortified when Dad kept trying to make jokes to the waitress and we kept muttering under our breath at the same time “Shut up Dad” then would laugh. Kassie and Skylar showed up as we were just finishing so they picked at our stuff then ordered another dish. We continued talking and laughing for a bit then Mom and Dad had to go because they had other plans, so we said our goodbyes then Aubrie and I loaded into Skylar’s truck with them and headed home. They took back off and Aubrie and I played on our computers for a little bit then Jessica called as planned and we decided to meet up on Capitol Hill around 10:30 or whenever she was done with her show. I hopped in the shower, got ready then we took off for Lowe’s so I could check out toilets. Do I know how to show my little sister a good time on a Friday night or what? Yeah…so we looked at those then headed over to PCC to find cookie cutters but they didn’t have any so we walked across the parking lot to Michael’s where we did find some so I picked up about 5 and we went home. We decided to watch a movie until Jess called so I picked Snatch since Aubrie had never seen it and Brad Pitt looks so hot sans shirt. Promptly at 10:30 Jess called so we took off for CH, found parking and walked down to Dillettante. Jess got there about 10 minutes later and I ordered a hot chocolate and Aubs and Jess both ordered cheesecakes so I nibbled on those. We talked for a long time and Aubrie was fascinated with Jess’ stories and we vowed to look up typhoid and some guy named Gabe when we got home. And maybe Diego Moscoso, but since he spit on me in preschool I don’t know if he deserves to be found. Before we left I picked out some chocolates for Uncle Brad and Aunt Heidi and when we were paying for it we were commenting on the very large chocolate Santa and the guy called it creepy and we continued laughing about that for a while. We wondered what they did with the giant Santa at the end of the season if no one bought it for the bargain price of $300+ and thought that they either melt it down and give it new life or they just stick it in the back and wait for next Christmas. We left around 12:30 I think and headed home and crawled into bed. We both heard Kassie stomping up the stairs about a half hour later.
Monday 12/25, I woke up at 7:30 and woke K and S up too to head over to Mom’s. I left before they did and helped clean up at Mom’s before everyone got there.
