Where are you Christmas?

HOLIDAYS COME BACK, PLEASE! 

Oh how I miss you! I love Christmas..not because I get spoiled or because I get to be off of school and get a short break from work.. I love it because I get to spend time with the people that bring joy to my life and make new memories that I won't forget

I had so much fun during Christmas. Spent most of the time with Gavin's family which never brings a dull moment! There such a fun family. I spent the 2 nights before Christmas getting all my gifts for everyone ready, because I am a procrastinator and wait til the very last minute so that "I have something to do when I am bored" Yea get real Kourt. Wrapping and packing my stuff.. not so fun at ALL. I had to go to walmart for wrapping paper and a few last minute gifts, which was a MAD HOUSE. Reminder for next year, do not attempt going to that store during the holidays.. what should have took 15 minutes, rounded out to be 20 times that..yuck
Christmas eve I worked til 4, helping out the estimated 17 TOTAL customers all day (which is very slow for those of you that don't know) so my day was spent complaining to everyone, and anyone who would talk to me about how BORED I was, calling  my boss every hour BEGGING to leave, and counting down the seconds til I could leave.. I swear the day couldn't have gone by any slower, I probably called Gavin 45 times just to say hey, I am so bored what are you doing. "Working Kourt" oh okay i guess ill let you go i love you bye.. ten minutes later heyy babe what are you doing .. im really bored STILL ha ha finally on about the 27th call he finally said OH MY HECK Kourt I gotta go really I am feeding cows, so i gave up ha ha and started to call anyone i could think of that would talk to me, but then i realized i had nothing to say, so I began shopping online ha ha, best thing to do at work, if i was rich! I find myself always just adding things to my shopping cart, but never getting to buy it all.. such a let down ha ha FINALLY the clock hit 4 and i was out of there, car ready to go, trunk full of gifts for everyone, literally.

 Kept myself REAL busy!

I drove my happy self to good ol' Acequia, and had an awesome dinner of prime rib and crab, Smith family tradition.. and oh my was it good. ha ha my fav part of course being the butter that i got to dip my crab as well as everything else on my plate in ha ha don't worry I payed for it later when my tummy was not so happy with me

Christmas day I woke up at my parents house to Jake at 5:30 in the morning (might i add) saying...

SISSY SANTA CAME GET UP!!

me of course being the sweet sweet sister i am got up and played with his toys that santa had got him..

 Even though he didn't play very nicely..

*****

ha ha everyone else in that house being lazy and sleeping til 9 and going back to bed right after they opened there presents, (nick and rj ha ha) it is so fun having little kids around to bring back the magic of Christmas. 

 Rj really needs to shave his mullet ha ha

 Apparently Nick wasn't feeling "fly" as he would say.. wouldn't take one picture with me ha

Every since my parents got divorced, my dad has put up his own Christmas tree every year with his own stuff... all the hallmark baseball ornaments, with a hat on top, mits throughout and bats on the bottom, so creative

 

Jake wrote a note to santa and left him cookies and milk, as well as oatmeal for the reindeer! 

*****

This year I just kinda asked my family for money and an I pod touch from Gavin which I defiantly got spoiled with all of the above! We opened gifts and after all that we had worked up an appetite so Angie made us a gourmet  breakfast of...

 Carls Jr. ha ha, as you can see Nick doing what he does best :)

*****

I went over to my grandmas after that, where my mom and Kennedy were! I gave them all there gifts and I opened mine from them.

 

 Us girls and our beautiful grandma!

 Shes not my baby sis anymore :(

 SPOILED, I know :)

 My mother likes to go overboard... and wrap ALL my stocking stuff too.. shes cRazY..

I love my moms presents there the best. She always gets something that I ask for and always throws in little stuff that no one would think of, but always come in handy.  Like ink cartridges for my printer which are super expensive, but I never would have thought of asking for.. DVD player blow dryer, just things that can always come in handy someday! Shes awesome.

I took Braelynn and her family (my adopted family) there gifts, and gave them all a good laugh of course, ha ha they always love when I come over because I am such a spaz and say the darnedest things.

 My adopted mother Chimene 

MY mom and dad! (not Braes ha ha)

 

Typical Kourt and Brae moment, me being right, like ALWAYS, and her arguing.

 But after its all said and done.. were pretty much sisters and couldn't live without each other!

 *********

I went and had lunch at my Aunts and made Gavin come along with me, since he never has met my mom or anyone in her family for that matter. They always make fun of me and tell me that I made him up and he isnt a real person but I sure proved them wrong.

 Me and my beautiful cousin, Ash, and sissy Kennedy!

Couldn't live without this boy :) FINALLY got a picture.. pretty sure he was saying "im so mad right now, you set this one up ha ha not fair"

We went back out to Gavs after that and just hung out with his family the rest of the night which was fun! I love playing with his little nieces and nephews and making fun of prego Jerica falling on the ice, ha hahahah (love you jer)

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Monday: Me Kennedy and Gavin attempted to go snowmobiling, key word, ATTEMPTED. Dorko didn't check the weather ahead of time and well, once we got up there, got unloaded and headed to the top of the hill, we had to come back down, load up and go back home cuz the snow was too miserable. The whole way up he just kept saying your so lucky to go with me, i am KNOWN in this town for snowmobiling blah blahh BLAH the whole way down he just kept saying, why does it have to be like this i just wanted to have a fun day why does it have to snow. hahah welcome Idaho babe that's what happens.

 

He loves taking pictures :)

TAKE A PICTURE WITH ME NOW.. no i am playing with your brother MOVE!We love each other :) cant you tell.

 After begging FIFTY times I finally got him to take a picture.. and this is what he pulls ha ha typical Gavin for ya!
