Just Another Family Gathering

Got home about an hour ago from Ed and Rosalie's Christmas dinner which was fun until after dinner haha.

Here's the story:

Ed told me to grab a cup and he'd get me a drink, i was thinking he'd hand me a soda, he pulled out a bottle of white wine!! to say i was shocked was an understatement. So yeah, i got to have my wine on Christmas :)

Anyway it goes downhill after dinner. I take my plate into the kitchen with my glass for a refill (#3) and Phyllis tells me "What are you doing drinking? You know that your driving!".. I was floored. My eyes popped open and my mouth was an 'O'.

Phyllis then said "Didn't your dad tell you you were driving??"

"Uhmm NO!" I had to idea this was happening! She then yelled for dad, "Steve, Sam's drinking." And he looked at me like 'WHAT?' I left the kitchen after that. With my cup full i might add!

Told Grandma and she put my mind at ease saying that she would drive if they expected me to drive the van home.

Now, if i was by myself and had only drunk the amount i did, i would drive. If i had to! Absolutely had too. But i would have had my dad, Phyllis, and my brothers in the van. I did not want to drive with any alcohol in my body, no matter the amount! And for another thing, i had never driven the van before! So yeah, that was exciting. NOT.

Oh and then when we got home Phyllis asked to talk to me outside and i thought it would be about the drinking. No, it was about the fact that i was the main focus for gossip tonight. Ha-ha yup. I got up to get something from my grandma and i had the recliner which Jason immediately stole from me. I asked him nicely, then told him to get up! Threatened to sit on him, but ended up sharing the seat with my arm around his neck. Yeah, they apparently found it strange. I texted Jas straight away and asked if i had made him feel uncomfortable, he knew what i was talking about straight away, he said i didn't. Phew.

Oh and just so you know, I didn't drive.

Easter Egg Hunt and Apple Pie

Happy Easter!! Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend?!

On Friday my brothers and Phyllis painted eggs, they turned out really cute! Sort've like marble! Will get a pic tomorrow. I was facinated by the process as i don't remember painting eggs when i was there age and younger. For one thing i can NOT stand eggs. *shudders*.

Saturday it started raining, which i was soo happy about! I was hoping it would rain Friday night. Anyway, we got to Grannys (Aunt Charlenes) at around 3pm. The boys had their Easter egg hunt! they had like 50+ eggs to find! They were little plastic ones and had coins in them.

I was happy when my cousin Mike turned up! He was the only one near my age! He's 20. Jen was having fun in Florida, she went on a Air Boat ride through the swamps. Brittany had a softball game and Amanda was with her mum for the weekend.

I was lucky enough to be able to get my food first because i was the only one with a birthday coming up!! After dinner they gave me cards and money for my birthday as i won't see many of them on my birthday. And for my cake i got Apple Pie!! I love apple pie more than cake! Except maybe ice-cream cake.

Today for Easter Sunday, Phyllis had some eggs that she hid for the boys so they got to go for another Easter egg hunt! This time they were filled with candy. For Easter dinner we had Pizza!! YUMMY! haha.

Enjoy my pictures! I love the one of me and Mike!!

Todays Easter Egg Sunday Hunt

Change of weekend plans

Well looks like we're not doing the whole "family picnic" this weekend, it's been moved to the 15th!

So that means i have a big fat nothing planned for the weekend.. i really need to make some friends.. i have people i text and talk to in my classes but i don't know them well enough yet...

How sad is that! That's the big downfall of moving to a whole new country.. you have no friends outside your family
