you just gotta love mom for making christmas cookie's (and other types of deserts) and letting me be the official tester! hey, it's a tough job, but someone has to do it! (and it's a good thing i workout a lot, too! haha)

getting together with my dad's side of the family tonight was a lot of fun! we ended up going to my aunt and uncle's house, who live in stuart (about an hour north of west palm). i havent seen most of my relatives there for about a year and a half so it was good to catch up to them. my two cousins, gregory and jason, have gotten so big! they're 19 and 21 (i think) and they're both taller than me by at least an inch and a half. between them and my brother, i am now the shortest one. it didn't used to be that way...

tomorrow, im getting up at 8 and going to the mall because i still have presents to buy for three people...dad, brian (my brother), and aimee (my best friend). way to save it for the last possible second, huh? the stores are going to be packed...i bet mostly with men who are buying stuff for their wives or girlfriends lol my family and i are going to mass at 3 pm and then we're having christmas eve dinner together. looks like another busy (and fun!) day for the Hills family :)

i hope you all already got your shopping done!
