Merry, Merry Christmas

I wasn't expecting much from Christmas this year, I mean after the worst 4 months of my entire life just finished I didn't think Christmas was going to be much better. We didn't put up a tree, or lights, or any decorations for that matter. But, After watching Elf 5 times I started to get into the Christmas spirit. But it's still SO hard to believe it's the first Christmas without my grand-father and my grand-mother is going through almost the same thing.

So of course I end up doing my shopping Friday. I went with Matthew to the pet store to get a bird for my grand-mother (my dads mom). This bird is SO cute, but it never made a noise and it wouldn't move, like you could actually pet it and it wouldn't try to bite your hand off. That was fun, but while we were at the pet store Matthew thought it would be funny to get my dad a dozen goldfish in a little bowl. The guy at the pet store made us only get 4... It was so funny cuz we walk in the door when we get home and he just hands the bag of fish to my dad and the box with the aquarium that needs to be set up. So my dad was kinda confused, and he kinda hated it but we wanted to get something for my mom so we let my dad deal with the mess. Oh ya, and we named the fish on the way home so my dad didn't even get to name his own fish. We named then John, Paul, George and Ringo, I know it's sad...

anyway, got 2 go...
