best quote of the season.... "i'm about to have a psychotic episode!!"

so for this very different xmas season i was invited to spend the night with my Rome Home family and was delighted to see that they're all just as much at xmas too!! after deciding with my Tia Cynthia that at an adult xmas you can make new rules, break old ones OR throw rules right out the window we began opening presents at 12:01 December 25. the stocking's were left til morning as some traditions just aren't meant to be broken and crawled into bed around 1am. waking up to the winter wonderland that is our Island some of us felt GLOOOOOOOORIOUS and some of us not so much haha...
as we were opening the remainder of our gifts in the morning (thank you all for spoiling me by the way) Tio Leo opened a book on weather but not just ANY book, a faaaancy pants weather book. he was explaining to Em what all this wonderous book was going to reveal to him when he exclaimed "i'm about to have a psychotic episode!!" from excitement of course!! it was a great time needless to say at my 3rd family's house this christmas. grateful is a word that comes to mind as i stuffed my face with Tia's delicious food, laughed way too hard way too much and looked around at some of the people i love most in this world....


today i went shopping with my manders and spent ALL of my house sitting money, quite excited at some of the treasures i found! first time boxing day shopping on the Island, first time was in Saskatoon with my Garand parents and boy what fun those crowds are!! i hope all enjoyed whatever they did on their boxing day, whether it included boxes or not haha.
big love
