Saturday.
\nI helped my aunt set up everything, and we chatted about everything. She showed me her new harp.
\nThen guests started coming! Dad\u2019s best friends, my uncle\u2019s side of the family, my first cousins! \ud83d\ude00 So happy! We enjoyed the meal very much, and opened gifts and everything. It was crazy fun.
\n\"cousins<\/a><\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, I enjoyed a leisurely morning with my aunt. (I\u2019d gone for a walk around the neighborhood, and then did the end of the \u201cInsanity\u201d work out routine with my cousin. I wanna do more! My knee hurts more now, though. ~_~ I was hoping the knee would be better by now. My neck is so much better, though\u2026 Anyway, then I went to 12 o\u2019clock mass with my aunt, and we heard my uncle play the organ and sing. I got to sing Christmas carols! So happy! I hadn\u2019t sung any all year!<\/p>\n

Feasted on left-overs, and then met my cousins and husband\/fianc\u00e9 and went bowling in down town New York City!
\n\"bowling<\/a><\/p>\n

I suck royally! Lol I got the lowest score ever because I forgot how to bowl straight. Hah Oh well!
\n\"roxy<\/a>
\n We then ate at a nice little diner. I was so jetlagged, I was falling asleep in front of everyone. I\u2019m sorry guys\u2026 it was really embarrassing.<\/p>\n

Also, Sunday was Dedelis\u2019 funeral, but I didn\u2019t go\u2026. I have no car, it\u2019s far, and my flight leaves from Newark and the weather was iffy. :\/ My mom said it was okay. Well, I made sure I visited him last year before he passed on. I\u2019m just glad he\u2019s at peace now. He deserves the rest, after his long, hard, life.<\/p>\n

Monday, I hung out with my aunt and uncle most of the day. My uncle taught me how to play the cajon (did I spell that right? A box instrument) Both my aunt and uncle are professional musicians, so they have beautifully trained singing voices. In their music room, they have a piano, an organ, a guitar, a cajon, a harp, and I dunno what else. I went shopping with my cousin Adele, and then had a nice dinner at my aunt’s. we played cards and fought the WHOLE time about the rules. hahahah XD
\n\"cards<\/a> My family members were like screaming at each other one second, and then laughing the next. ^_^;;; <\/p>\n

Danced the Gangnam style to Psy, then watched the ball drop and made a lot of noise! So much fun!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
