God Bless 2007
Good morning/afternoon/evening and I hope that everyone has now embraced the year of 2007 and is not messing up too much when writing down the dates of the year. I thought that it would probably be a good thing to kind of go over how Christmas/New Years/Birthday went for me this year.
I finished my last exam on December 14th...hallelujiah! Praise the Lord! And promptly came home and spent a delightful first night away from school with my head in the toiler. And no, I was not drunk. The flu is a nasty little bug that should die a painful death! Got all the needed Christmas shopping done in Red Deer on the 18th, which was a monday with my sis Carmen. It was fun since we hadn't been able to really hang out for a while so the drive was fun. Tuesday she left with Barry to go to Melfort Saskatchewan to spend Christmas with his family and left little Jeff and I home with mom and dad. Sam finally made it home on the 24th and was around until the 26 when she had to go back to work. The Holloway family Christmas which is usually on boxing day didn't happen this year. Mom was stressed out enough as it was and didn't want the hassel of preparing the house for the presence of some 30+ people. So most of the holidays were spent relaxing and enjoying the company of just family. Carmen and Barry made it home on the 27th and opened their presents and stockings when they got back. On the 29th we went over to Vern and Peggy's and enjoyed a night of pool and games. It was nice to visit with everybody.The 30th brought the Pratt family Christmas around which was VERY layed back with about 15 of us. The reason there are so many Holloway's that usually come is b/c dad has 7 siblings and about 14 cousins, plus their spouses and kids, so ALOT of people. Mom just has a brother and a sister and none of their kids are married so it's a lot more relaxed.
New Years eve(which was also my 19th b-day!! Woot woot!!)with the Richardson's coming over for dinner and spending the afternoon with us just visiting and playing games. They are always a nice family to have over, but they left at 5 along with Carm and Barry who went over to a friend's house to ring in the new year. Oh! I should mention that Sam made it back on the 29th and left after dinner on the 31st to go to work.
And that brings us up to date for the time being. Back to school on Tuesday the 9th and there's a group of us that are hoping to go to Red Deer I think that night to be able to spend some time with the Explore/Discover people who are leaving on the 12th for Montana and Guatemala respectively. I will add some more about what's going on at school when it actually starts again. Anyways, have an awesome time in the beginnings of this new year, and God Bless!!
Love you all!! :)

Happy New Year, Kelly. And happy belated birthday! Our family usually does its mass gathering on Boxing Day as well but we did it weeks earlier this year. It felt kinda weird, actually. Like a make-belief Christmas. So, what's with the change in colour schematic?
