old friends, old memories

aunt phyllis, uncle guy, little guy, shelby, and seth came over a few nights ago to exchange christmas gifts. it took a looong time to finally get together but we finally did it! papa got a picture of aunt phyllis sticking her tongue out at the camera. it took him a while for the camera to load and she said "hurry up, my face will freeze!" and seth cracked up big time. it's amazing how big they're getting. shelby is 13 now. little guy is 16 i believe. i think seth is 10 or 11. possibly 12. he's pretty short. aunt phyllis calls him her little midget. they joke that seth isn't theirs. it's pretty funny. i'm insanely jealous at how pretty shelby is. little guy looks exactly the same, yet he looks completely different. does that make any sense to you? he's not the little chunker he used to be. he's thinned out quite a bit. shelby's a bit chubby, but she always has been. she's taller than me! its not fair. i feel so short next to her, lol. aunt phyllis and uncle guy are graduating from taft college this year on may 21st, which is also the due date of rachell's baby, elysian. she's naming her elysian karen... not a big fan of the name, i think it's the weirdest thing i've ever heard. anyways, i just wanted to let you know what's been going on. oh, kayla (t.t.'s kayla) and juan (her boyfriend) brought their little girls over a few weeks ago. bella (but her real name is belladona) is 3 and lola (but her real name is amora) is 2. they're so adorable. bella is the exact replica of kayla. i felt like i was a little toddler again when bella was around. she gave me hugs and kisses and everything, and so did lola but she was more hesitant because she's really shy. kayla said it was amazing that she even walked over to me, let alone let me hug and kiss her, lol. willow and bella hit it off pretty well. lola was too involved in watching tinkerbell on the tv. they're both beautiful girls. anyways, i should go now. just thought you might like to know what was going on in my life :)

i love you.
