Christmas!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone! This Christmas was alot different than any other Christmas I've ever had. First Christmas with a boyfriend. I know your so intriuged now. So Christmas eve was spent at my house opening gifts like my family always does. Very fun. Christmas day was spent then at my aunt's house. That was nice as well. And after all of that Jordan (the boyfriend) and I spent Boxing day at his house with his family. His aunt at uncle have three children. First, Nick whos in grade 6, second Arianne who is (I think) in grade 4 or 5. And then Olivia, who is in kindergarten. To look at them they are the cutest most adorable children. To be with them for a day can be a different story.
I spent Thanksgiving with Jordan's family too, and the 3 small cousins were there too. I ended up convincing Arianne and Olivia that Marla (Jordan's brother's girlfriend) and I were secret agents. But, "you can't be a part of our secret agency if you don't have red hair." It was pretty fun as far as that went. I do remember a few parts of the day though, the part where Arianne looked up at me and said "I think I liked the other girlfriend better." And then later we had a conversation concerning my clothing. She looked at me again and said "Who bought you that shirt?" I said "I did, I bought it for myself." "Why??" she asked me with a condescending tone. "I liked it." I said just wondering what she would say next. She looked at me again and then said "It's just so... so... blech." Haha, yes. And there was a face of pure disgust as she said it too. As for the other two, Olivia actually is the cutest most adorable child. She still can't properly pronounce a few words and it's pretty cute. Nick, you can just tell, is gonna be a heartbreaker when he grows up.
So as you can probably tell I was a little nervous for Boxing day. Kind of hoping that no one would tell me my shirt is 'blech' or that I didn't measure up to the last "Jordan's girlfriend." So we went over there and Arianne ran up the stairs and was trying to get me to admit all this secret agent business, that it was all fake. I looked straight at her and said "I have no idea what you are talking about, I never said any of that." It was hilarious! She couldn't beleive it. Later she was sitting on my lap and for some reason asking everyone their names in full. When I said "Penelope" she looked straight at me and her smile just dissapeared. "Be serious." she said in a demanding tone. "I am being serious! Thats my name!" I said just about laughing. "Come on. Gimme a break." she said not beleiving it for one second. It was pretty funny. And she was starting to gain back some of my favour haha. Meanwhile Olivia had run up to Marla and said "Penny, can you please come downstairs?" Marla looked up and said "I'm not Penny..." Olivia seemed quite shocked but then asked for her name then. Marla told Olivia that her name was Marla and pointed out that I was Penny. Olivia looked at the ground and then to Marla again and said "Maria, can you come downstairs?" Simply adorable. Safe to say I think the kids started to like me some time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

First

Hey! So this is sort of my first blog, and the main reason why I am starting this again is because my sister is shortly going to be going away to a far off land. Ok, it won't be for another 3 months, but I still think it is important for me to get into this. So, about myself for a bit then, I just finished my first semester of college at a good school. I'm taking an Office and Records Administration Program and so far I love it! I'm also very excited for Christmas, and cant wait til Christmas Eve. Thats all for now.
