Christmas
I know that Christmas was a while ago now, but I finally have some time to put up some pictures of my Christmas in California! I was all ready to spend Christmas in Coleraine when my family contacted me and told me they were flying me to California for Christmas!!! I had one day notice until I had to start traveling so I got my suitcase...which I took empty for a reason...and prepared to have a wonderful time back in the States. My friend, David, was kind enough to give 
me a ride to Belfast where I then took a 3 hour bus to Dublin where I camped out for a few hours and then hopped on a plane to Maine. All of my original traveling routes where thrown out the window because of bad weather, so I ended up flying all over the place. from Maine I went to Phili and from Phili to LA. I finally arrived in LA where my fam had been waiting for 3 hours!! They are such a good family...My luggage was lost, but luckily it was mostly empty so it was no big deal. They delivered to
my house a couple days later. I had the most wonderful time seeing my family and was in awe at how much Cory and Saylor had grown. My dogs where so delighted to see me as I was to see them. The house was adorned with all the Christmas decorations that my mum and sis put up (I was surprised too to hear that shay he
lped!!!). It looked beautiful! My mum is so talented! I surprisingly did not have nay jet lag coming to Cali so that was something I was most thankful for. Being with my family was just grand, and I couldn't have asked for more for Christmas. We all decorated cookies and Saylor sung me some carols. My mum's family came over on Christmas eve and it was great to see everyone. We spent Christmas day at my dad's family where we had a white elephant party and lots of yummy food. I got to see my friends and it was just so great to see my girls. It's 
amazing how you forget just how special people are until you are around them again and experience them in all their glory! I had the most wonderful Christmas and I just thank God for letting me spend it with the fam. I
t was the best birthday party ever! Happy bday Jesus! Thanks for loving me so much and taking care of me. You truly are amazing.
