Christmas 2007

This is how my Christmas morning started.

It started by me waking up at 7 in the morning, checking on my mom and dad to see that they were snoring and not waking up for 3 more hours. Which in that time I sat and waited and waited and waited, then finally mom and dad woke up, after that we woke up the rest of the family. When we woke up K (my 10 year old brother) he was not feeling good at all, so that postponed the present opening.

~Here is K feeling very queasy~

After about 45 minutes K was feeling a little better so we tried to open presents, as he started to open his first present he jumped up and ran to the toilet, it was a false alarm. We had to wait another 30 minutes before he felt good enough to try opening presents again, same thing happened except it wasn't a false alarm. He was at the toilet when the gravitational force changed direction and everything shot out the top, when mom was on her way in to comfort him, S my 2 1/2 year old brother wanted to see what was going on and mom closed and locked the door so that he couldn't. S Didn't like being locked out at all, so he decided to push over the corner shelf unit by our parents door, which had a candle that was burning all morning on the top shelf. I was sitting on a chair about 25 feet away and saw the shelf unit falling down, so I jumped up stopped the unit from falling over but the candle kept coming. The pictures can tell the rest. I really don't feel like typing a thousand words each=)

There are pictures of me below, don't be alarmed this is only hot wax not blood

Even Through all that happened, we still had a great Christmas and we appreciated our presents even more but also were able to realize even more that Christmas is not about presents but the birth of Christmas.
