I was very happy to find out they had a ping pong table! While I declined in playing football, I beat all of them in ping pong except for 2. hehe. After this, Alex's mom was giving everyone a present. When we unwrapped them, everyone had different Santa in Hawaii Christmas bulbs. I got one of a snowman with Minnesota written on it. He's really cute!
Apparently the whole family is going to Hawaii over Christmas (hence the Santa in Hawaii Bulbs) and the grandparents wanted to give the grandchildren their christmas presents early. All eleven grandchildren got $1000 each! To top it all off, the grandfather must have felt bad that I was watching them unwrap these presents, so he gave me $300 dollars right there on the spot!!!
Wow. I felt really greatful. I mean, he doesn't even know me!
The next day we went to a Hockey game: the Minnesota Wild, against the Tampa Bay Thunder. It was so exciting and entertaining! It makes football a snoozefest! There were a lot of almost fights, and that was sort of thrilling in it's way. Every time the Wild would score, a light house built into the stadium would flash, blow whistles, and fog would pour out of it. Really exciting! Not to mention their family rented out a Box for the game, so we got buffet food, soda, and tons of room to walk around in! Apparently Wild games have been sold out for 11 consecutive years, so everyone was jealous back at school. It was definitely worth it!
We went to some parties, and I met all his friends. They're really cool too. They were all no drinking parties so that was fun. I got to practice my hand at pool, and I'm not too bad. I get lucky every once in a while.
The next day we put up the outside christmas decorations, and it was so cold!!!
It was a good thing we had put them up, because the next day, I woke up to snow!!! It was a beautiful inch all around. Everything looked so pretty! Alex's sister Emily helped me make a snowman! Now before you laugh, the snow was really dry, so we had a hard time packing it. It turned out to be a baby snowman asking to be picked up:
It's really hard to notice, but it has feet even! I also saw Twilight with his sister, and the movie is AMAZING!!! Much better than I expected them to do! O, if only a love like this could be mine (minus the hyperventilating...ah hell, that'll be in there too)!
Then I went to the mall with Alex, and bought the book Wicked at Borders, and bought $30 worth of candy and a cute glittery reindeer for the Bilski family for being so nice to me. It looked like really good candy, and I was tempted to keep one box for myself, but I forced myself to write FOR GRANDMA AND GRANDPA BILSKI on it. Such a good egg :D
They took me to a Vikings football game, and that was really boring. 3 hours of torturous entertainment. Some of it was fun though; expressly the non-watching part. lol
