Where I've Been: A Month in Review

Holy Snowballs, Batman! It's been a while!

As you can see, I haven't been updating the blog as much as I'd like. I'm sorry if I let anyone down, but let me try to make it up to you in this post.

Let's see... I "disappeared" a little bit before Thanksgiving. As far as that holiday went, it was great! It started as always; waking up to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, on TV, and a little while later it was off to Gramma's house!

There, we sat, talked, walked around awkwardly, and watched football. I had brought our Wii system with us, so I set that up, and we played some video games.
I should also add that I had some of the best apple pie I'd ever eaten in my life!

So, the weeks after that were pretty boring... lots of Christmas shopping, homework, school, and stuff like that. Let's skip to the latest chapter in our story, shall we?

Yesterday, we had our first Christmas party, with my Gramma's side of the family. It took place at some golf club, and we were served an excellent lunch, and were told odd, childrens' stories by some lady I've never met. I think Nick and Noah enjoyed that more than I did.
I also got to show my Uncle's girlfriend, Moe, a couple card tricks. I probably should have told you this a while ago, but I'm something of a magician. I have a little over thirty, or forty card tricks in my arsenal, and I also enjoy performing street magic, and a bit of prop magic. I usually bring a deck of cards wherever I go, so I got to show Moe some of my best tricks. I'll try to get some videos of them soon, to show you guys.
Anyway, she was blown away by my magic, and Pa, who had seen some of my stuff before, loved the reaction I got out of Moe.

Of course, we got a few presents from some relatives. My first gift of Christmas this year was a "Bop-It" game, from Uncle Denis, and that turned out to be quite addicting. I also got a gift card to GameStop from Nana.
We were planning on having another party today, but that got canceled because of the blizzard that hit us late last night.

I awoke this morning, and looked out my bedroom window to see how much snow had fallen so far. That question was answered when I saw that my entire window was covered in snow!
When I went downstairs, I looked outside, and there was about a foot of snow, and it was still falling! I went to let Cooper outside to go to the bathroom, and had to push the door a couple times to open it, and push the snow that had been barricading it away.
As a kid, I was delighted to see all this snow. That quickly changed when I later spent about an hour and a half outside, shoveling the driveway with my dad.
Which brings us to where I am now, typing to you guys. With Christmas only five days away, I'll be telling you guys about all my great gifts in no time! Hope you all are having a great Holiday season, and have fun shoveling!

Yours in awesomeness,
~Ry.
