Christmas and After

Well here goes my first attempt at a real post. Unless of course you count my welcome as a real post but I don't so I guess it really doesn't matter, hehehe. If you haven't been here yet then look below to feel welcomed.

Christmas was pretty good. My sister Rachel got home(she's normally in Montreal for school) 3 days before I was done exams. Then the day exams ended I had a huge party at my house. We have a party every year with all the Young Adults and do a white elephant or useless gift exchange, whatever you want to call it. I ended up with a 2006 Rugby calendar! I couldn't understand why anyone would think that was useless but whatever, :) Then I finished my Christmas shopping on Wednesday. On Friday my sister had a recital and on Christmas Eve we had another party at my house. It was a crazy week.

Then Christmas arrived! We had a fairly relaxing day but had to get up early to go to church. Then headed out for another wonderful Christmas day meal. I get royally spoiled almost every holiday. We usually get together with friends of ours and both my mom and Mrs. Skinner are amazing cooks. Yum:)

On boxing day we headed to Banff to go skiing but were only able to stay for 1 day as my dad had to get back to work. The rest of the Holidays were fairly lazy. Lots of sleeping in and a bit of shopping. On New Years we headed to another friends house and played games for New Years. Then we head home around 1 or 2 but since my sister was leaving at 6:50 am to go back to Montreal my sisters and I and one of her friends just stayed up all night. It was my first all nighter since my trip home (I had a layover overnight in LA and didn't have an alarm clock so I stayed up) and it royally screwed up my clock.

School started on Monday and has gotten to a pretty slow start. I can tell you this much though, it will be much better then last semester. I actually have to watch the Superbowl as an assignment. I know, such a hard life :)

Well, the second week starts tomorrow and Earlene arrives on Wednesday for a visit so it should be interesting. Oh, Simon we had our first game tonight and I scored so I guess I fulfilled your request. We didn't win though but I can't do everything, :)
