So every year for christmas, I usually do everything I can to go down to North Carolina to see my mother. Every year I do, it’s a good and relaxing time. I wasn’t able to go down last year because her and my stepfather decided to come up to Philly to see my newborn niece.
This year, I was able to make it down. I drove down this time and a friend came along for a ride to Raleigh. The ride was long but I enjoyed most of it. I really enjoy driving my car, especially on new tires. 
Today, Christmas, has been an okay day. Woke up around 10am after a bad nightmare, came downstairs and opened up a couple presents and things were good. Although, it’s been pretty agonizing on my stepfather. He backed up into my car and put a dent in my door (boo), the garage door broke and they couldn’t get their cars out, and he’s kinda getting sick. So it hasn’t been so hot for him. My mother and I tried to go see Sherlock Holmes at 7 but it was packed and sold out by the time we hit the window. So we came back and she made me a banana split and hot chocolate (DELISH!). Now i’m just hanging back on the couch watching Home Alone while my stepfather is making family calls in his snuggie (LOL).
Tomorrow, we’re suppose to go bowling, fix my door, and maybe make another attempt to see Sherlock Holmes. I would ideally like to leave tomorrow afternoon, but my carmate wants more time with her family.. so it looks like i’ll be leaving Sunday morning and getting back to Philly in the evening. Kinda can’t wait to get home and build a blanket fort.
Heres some pics from my stepdad’s new Canon Rebel that I took.
