Christmas time already!
Christmas has become a crazy holiday for my family, but I love it! Today I went with my grandpa, mom, and sister to help him pick out gifts for all 13 of his grandchildren! We had such a huge pile of clothes that the cashier even laughed at us! He isn't even finished, since my mom is pone of four that he will inevitably take out to dinner instead of getting gifts for. This way they all get to spend a night out together. Unfortunately for my parents, they have to buy gifts for all those kids, as well as their parents and my grandpa. This wouldn't be as bad, except that our family continues growing! We have one new addition and one soon to be added to my mom's side. Not to mention that my dad has 4 siblings with a total of 15 more kids! This holiday cost my family a fortune! My dad's side is willing to cut back on the older kids, but for some reason, my mom's family has no intention of reducing the cost anytime soon. Its a crazy couple of days since we celebrate on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but its so much fun and exhausting! We have to spread it out with so many people! Anyways, I thought it was pretty remarkable that we could buy for that many people in about an hour and a half!

I must admit Christmas has been pretty crazy for my family as well. For me it is so hectic I hardly get anything done. With the coming of Thanksgiving break it's nice to have some hope for the future and the end of this god-forsaken semester already. Ever since I was in 6th grade it seems that something crazy (getting stomach flu, getting picked up for curfew, school troubles, or flight delays) have plagued the time. Don't get me wrong I still love it but this year i'm gonna hold my breath till the ball drops.
I would have loved to have seen the cashier's face haha. Amazing how big your family is! My family has been growing too and everyone decided just to buy for immediate family now since it is so large, except for the grandparents who buy for everyone. Makes me wonder how many people i will have to buy for when i am older with children.
Christmas shopping during the first week of October!!! whhhaaaatt!
haha
Sounds like fun though.
