Emmanuel's Visit Day 8: Winter: Christmas Eve

Today my Aunt, Cousin and Grandma came into town from LA for Christmas.  They got here around 3 o'clock.  Today was Christmas Eve and also my Aunts birthday! Emmanuel would be getting in around 5 o'clock.  Five o'clock came and we went to the SB airport to meet him he hugged my dad and I and I introduced him to my cousin Kevin, Aunt Laura, and Grandma Faye.  We got his bag and drove home.  My mom, Hannah and Ashley-who had flown in the day before-hugged him when they saw him.  I got him settled in Ashley's room, and then we went into the kitchen to help make Aunt Laura's lemon birthday cake.  We finished making the batter and then put it into the oven.  We went to go sit on the couch with everyone else.  My grandma started going off about something and in no time it was time for dinner and then dessert.  The cake was brilliant! We finished then my dad started on the dishes and the rest of us started watching some lame Christmas movie that we are forced to watch every year.  When the movie was done we all brushed our teeth and Hannah went back to her house, because we were already tight on space. We went to bed and "visions of sugar plums danced in our heads".
