Merry (late) Christmas

HI EVERYONE!!!!!
I'm SO sorry that I haven't posted in a while!! My family and I went to NY to visit my Dad's side of my family! We had alot of FUN!!! (I love my family!!!) There was alot of people there, my cousins from Africa, Texas, Ohio, Maine, and 3 families from New York (not including my Grandparents!!) It was really nice that we got to see my cousin from Africa before they go back!! I'm going to (and already am!!) miss them ALOT!!! I have two cousins in the family that lives in Africa, Caleb (he's 14 years old), and Jessica (she's 12 years old). I'm going to miss Jessica ALOT because she's the closest cousin to my age (she's 2 weeks older than me!!). They are ALOT of FUN!!! The next time we get to see them is when they come back to the U.S. in about 4 years (I think), so Caleb can go to collage. I'm going to miss all of my cousins ALOT!!! I had SO much FUN with all of them!!
One of the days we were in NY we played soccer!! It is alot of fun, first it started out that it was the girls against the boys, but the girls were out-numbered (that and we were sort of bad and needed some help!!), so some of the uncles played on the girls side!! It was alot of fun, but then we had to go have lunch. After lunch, we started to play again, but most of the girl lost interest pretty quickly. Soon I was the only girl left!! The teams were, me, my Dad, and 3 of my uncles against, 1 of my uncles, my little brother, my little cousin (he's around Reuben's age), and two of my older cousins (Caleb, and my cousin Philip, who's about 2 years older than Caleb. They are both really good!!). Anyways, it was REALLY fun!!!! I can't really explain it, but it was fun!! When we were done, everyone was really sweaty and was breathing hard. Reuben and Levi (my little cousin) didn't really play, they were both the goalies (the goal was just 2 cones about 3-5 feet apart, and Reuben and Levi were just standing in between them talking!! It was kind of funny!!) Anyways...I had ALOT of fun with all of my cousins!!
Could everyone please pray for my Grandpa?? He's having some physical problems, so please pray!! Thanks!!!
Well...I think that you all might be able to tell that I love my family!!! Oh, and if Josh is reading this-HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
P.S. If anyone in my family is reading this-I love you all and miss you all, too!!!
