A conclusion of Christmas and Home

I spent 10 wonderful short days at home.  I love to sneak into town but my Pappy told me that he couldn't handle me sneaking in on him so I had no choice but to tell him.  Other than that no one knew the exact date.  I did give them a short window of when to expect me.  All of the pictures were taken on my iPad.  None of the photos were taken by me.  My 2 cousins Syd and La had a wonderful time playing with my ipad.  They made videos, beat Angry Birds (as they call it- Space Birds) and more.  The first pictures is Syd and La.  The second picture is La pointing at my Tootsie's husband and my Tootsie who is sitting on the floor.  The third picture is my Cousin Britt waving at the camera and last but not least is La with 2 of my Aunts and uncle in the background.  I spent time with everyone that I could.  I went to my Winnie's bball game and my good friend Sannie drove down to visit me and ended up spending the night.  My Kay May took pity on me and also drove down to visit me.  She actually had to drive and pick me up from my Dad's because my truck died on me.  I really appreciate that.    The whole holiday was great.  I went to church on Christmas Eve with my fam and then did dinner with them later that night.  I even talked my dad into coming.  On Christmas, I went to church with my dad and meet his new church family.  He recently switched churches and everyone was very nice.  I had lunch with my Dad's sister and then drove over to have dinner and games with my mom's side.  I had a funny feeling that my brother was trying to sneak in on me.  He wasn't answering my phone calls and I knew that he wasn't going to be able to come home for Christmas.  But on Christmas day he was at my Grammy's!  A very nice gift of having your family together.   I was flying back out on New Years Day so I didn't want to do much; just spend time with dad before I left.  I was actually asleep when the New Year came in!  It wasn't too hard to say see you later to my family.  I miss them so much and still pray for a job closer to them but I know that they are ok.   It was difficult to see my Grammy- She had a very bad day while I was at home.  But I am so glad to be able to have tons of memories of her from her good days.  That was my holiday all wrapped up pretty!  I hope that you all have a great Friday the 13th~
