Christmas Day

On Christmas Day we spend it with my family. Once we open presents and see Blake's Grandma (she is the only grandparent that we have left) then we head to my parent's house for more food and fun. This year my parents gave all of the grand kids steel snow saucers. You know the kind in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. My grandma gave us one on Christmas one year. In fact one has still been floating around at my parent's house. They last forever and are so SUPER fast. They just don't absorb the bumps very well. I remember everyone always wanting to trade me sleds. Anyway, the grand kids were really excited or maybe it was just me. I begged my mom to get Blake and I one, but she didn't. Instead she got some really great knives. I have had the same set of knives for almost 14 years now and they are crap. They hardly cut anymore at all. In fact one day Gerrit opened the dishwasher and pulled out a knife and began poking his pants with it...it never cut him nor his pants. They are dull...dull...pieces of crap. After all of the present opening, Grandpa has to pull all of the kids in his duck decoy sleds with his tractor since no one in the family has snowmobiles anymore. The kids love it! Blake and my brother, Justin, went and saw a show. Blake took the whole week off, which he has never done before. Since he was gone, I stayed with the kids at my parent's house and we rocked out to the karaoke microphone. Even my mom and dad got into it and we had so much fun.
