Tis the Season Wow. I'm tired. It's a little after 2:00 AM on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas, by the way, everybody. Today was really fun and full. I have a head ache, runny nose, and a closed throat (from asthma due to too much talking loudly/laughing uncontrollably), but it was completely worth it.

First of all, for once in a long while, everybody is officially home. Dad, Mom, John, Laura, Dave, Me, Aunt Linda, Uncle Joe, Uncle Tom (and John's Russian friend Povel) are all within one state. AMAZING!

Today started with a casual breakfast then church, which was really fun since I haven't actually been to NBC since August. Crazy, huh? I had such a fun time seeing everybody. It was soo good to be in that building.

Afterwards, I hung out with Ben and Ryan for an hour or so, then when we got home, we had lunch. After lunch, around 2:00pm, we had the start of Aunt Linda and Uncle Joe's wedding reception, with a small crowd of close family friends. It was really fun. Everyone was here.

After that party, John, Povel, Laura, Dar, and I went to Bath to the famous Chad + Kasey Snavely Christmas Eve Eve Party. This was my first "Eve Eve Party invitation". haha. I'm movin' up, as John put it jokingly. It was so fun though. There were a lot of people there at times, but the end was really fun, 'cause it was quieter and more relaxed. I enjoyed it a lot and got to see so many people that I haven't seen in awhile, like Evan, the Bests, some people from my church, college friends, family friends, etc.

Annnnnd.... now it's 2:22 AM. What a day. Well, at least I get to sleep in tomorr--- well, today.

I doubt I'll update before Christmas, so without any more delay, Merry Christmas!

Stupid Santa, Rudolph, or whoever.... Yay for God. God is amazing, and he blesses us so abundantly. Let's not forget why Christmas exists.
