Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving has been great so far.
Yesterday I went to Fuddruckers with Kasandra. I got my usual grilled cheese sandwiches. She got a burger. We ended up talking for a long time and having a wonderful long dinner. Then, we left and I went to Hobby Lobby. It was lovely and I got the things that I needed for the rest of Eli's Christmas present. Then I was able to go and have dinner with Hunter, Justin, and David. It was lovely. We went to a small Vietnamese restaurant. I had some rice and a bubble tea. Then we went back to Hunter's house for some awesome pie. I had some apple pie and we also played Farcry on the XBox 360. After everything, I had to go to Eli's Mom's for us to have a conversation about the things that have been going on lately.
To explain what happened, he insulted me in a way and we are now on a break for 3 and a half weeks. We have agreed on no contact. I'm not really liking it right now, but he told me that he wants to do this to teach himself a lesson.
Today, I woke up and I helped my Mom to clean the house. We just vacuumed and stuff. It was close to noon or so before anyone arrived. The first to arrive was Jim and Tracey and their four kids, Greg, Matt, Trevor, and Jamie. Greg walked up the stairs and I rushed up behind him and jumped on to his back. Not too long afterwards, we drove to the hotel. Cassidy and I were the first one's there to see my Gramma and Grampa Jones. It was awesome because me and my siblings have this huge thing to be the first to hug relatives when they arrive.
We then went to K&W Cafeteria for Thanksgiving dinner. We all ate and had our conversations. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel and hung out. Trevor, Matt, Michael, and I played card games. After a few games of 'Shitface' and 'BS', the 4 of us piled in my car and we went back to my house to watch Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay (in reviews). When the movie was over, we all began to get ready for bed and such. I talked to Keith for about 2 hours about some of the things that have been going on lately. It was great to be able to get some of my feelings off of my chest. It wasn't long after we hung up that I went to sleep.
The next morning, I got up and took a shower. My Mom took Matt back to the hotel and when I called her, we decided that I would meet her, Matt, Gramma, and Tracey at the mall for Black Friday shopping. I got a small necklace pendant that says 'P.S. I ♥ U' on it. That means alot to me. I also got a new gray sweater shirt to replace one of my really old blue ones. We then went back to the hotel and played more games. I talked to Greggie some about whats been going on with him lately. It was pretty cool. I talked to Justin and Cody some about their Thanksgivings and they had good ones. Kasandra called me and we talked for a while about some stuff that's been happening. The family ordered some pizza and we continued to play cards. The little girls swam a whole bunch. When it was 9pm, I left to go and visit Hunter before he had to go back to Clark University. It was great to be able to see him and help him out with a paper he was working on. I talked to him about some important things and he helped me out alot. When I left his house, I went home and worked on my English paper some. Matt came to spend the night again. He and my brother pretty much played online on the PS3. I worked on my paper a good bit and then around 2:30am I went to bed.
In the morning, we took Matt back to the hotel and helped everyone pack up and get ready to go. I had brought my solo DVD and my scrapbook to show the family. They all loved it. Tracey put my solo on the lobby television for everyone in there to watch. It was all just family though. After we took our family pictures and such, we waved goodbye to Jim, Tracey, Greggie, Matt, Trevor, and Jamie. Then we drove off to the house with my Gramma and Grampa. They're staying until Tuesday or so.
We all got home and I worked on my English paper some more. Around 4, I went over to Keith's house for a Thanksgiving Break get-together. We had alot of people there. Keith, Christopher, James, Ed, Ashley, Brooke, Michael, Richard, Sean, and I were all there. Not to mention Keith's Mom and Grandfather. Keith made some baked macaroni and cheese and some sour-cream cheesecake. There was also spiced apple cider and that was wonderful. We played Apples-to-Apples for fun. Michael and I sang 'O Holy Night' while he played the piano and it sounded great. I love singing with him. He's so talented. When I finally left, I went home only to go back out again with the family for dinner at 'California Dreamin''.
