Christmas Eve

Tonight was Christmas Eve. Personal family time is the tradition with my family. Just mom, granddad and myself. Mom did a lot of her baking today; pecan pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread (made from my Halloween jack-o-lantern), sweet potatoes for tomorrow, etc. The house smells nummy ^_^ Granddad came over in the afternoon and we all went out for dinner. Afterwards, granddad needed something from Walmart so we went there expecting huge lines. But there were now; Walmart had all the check out lines opened for once. We then rode around the neighborhood looking at the Christmas lights and decorations and finally home. Granddad didn't come in because he needed to go back to his place. He'll be over again tomorrow ^_^ Mom did up the eggnog and spiked it for herself and added just a taste to mine ^_^ We then opened our gifts to each other in the light of the Christmas tree. Mom then played my dad's present to me: a voice message on her cell phone. He's going to be here tomorrow for Christmas!!!!!! I'm so freaking happy now ^_^ I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep ^_^
