Merry Christmas!!!
It's Christmas time in the Zomer household!!!
On Thursday night Dan and I went to the Wikkerinks to hang out for the night. What a drive!! It wasn't snowing and it wasn't even that cold but it was sooo windy and everything on the road was ice or snowbank. Chloe ended up puking in the car on the way there. Great. It was okay though. Another learning experience. On Friday I worked for 7 hours and then we went back to the Wikkerinks for Christmas meal and presents!! oh so much fun. Caleb got a discman right away and so had that on for most of the night. We all got new socks and I got money for a manicure... i'm really happy about that and dan got hockey stuff. Good thing too because that stuff is so expensive. All of us kids went in together and bought mom and dad a dish washer!! That was the most exciting gift of course and we think she liked it because she shed a tear or too... and then so did Larissa. It was sweet. We all slowly went to bed around midnight and woke up around 9:00 the next morning. Dad made us all a breakfast that couldn't be beat and then we all sat around as the boys installed the dishwasher. We got to Ingersoll around 3:30 and snacked for a few hours before we went to a Christmas Eve service. Melanie and Melisa Gomez were there since they are at the Pippel's for Christmas!! It was so good to see a connection to Honduras again. After church we set out every kind of cheese possible and snacked all night while we opened presents. After Amy gave Dad a digeeredoo and he started trying to play it mom figured that we were missing too many photo opportunities so she passed out a digital camera for each of us!!! So I will now be posting a lot of pictures on my blog.
Right now we are in the middle of what I have been looking forward to all exam time: We are sitting downstairs, the fire has just been started, drinks are all passed around and we're just chatting. I love it. I'm really starting to relax now. Sigh... and its only going to get better.
