It's 5:20am and I just finished placing my presents around the tree. Of course, mine and my brother's had already been laid out before I woke up. They said we're getting up at 5:30 to open them. They didn't know I was getting them presents, so hopefully that'll be a surprise.

Yesterday was very busy. Carlyn and I played video games on and off all morning while helping to get everything ready. Dad had to run to the store more than once. We're cooking breakfast for everyone this morning. They should all be here about 8 o'clock. Mom had to work 'til noon yesterday. After she got home it really got busy. At 3:30 we left to go to John's. It was a lot of fun. Jeremy, Justin, Josh and everyone else were there. I parked on the curb. At one point Catie kept playing with me while I was sitting on the couch. She was grabbing at my hat and the little strings on my hooded sweatshirt thing. I finally had to get up, and ran around with her chasing me. Everyone was laughing. They had two small kittens, both gray. Smokey and Tiger, I think. What original names. It's getting closer to 5:30 now. I'll come and finish this later today.
