Christmas '07
I hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays! And that you've had some time to relax before rushing back to work. Poor Justin is still working the crazy hours at Belk & will only have about 4 days off the entire school break. Never again!

This was a great Christmas for me ~ we went to Justin's parents for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. With my parents we are always running around from one grandparents house to another, so this was the first time I was able to sit back & not worry about grabbing the right presents & casseroles and being constantly on the go. We cooked, we ate, petted cats, opened presents & played lots of video games. Ahhh.

We wanted to get together with my parents after the holiday, but with Justin's busy schedule & my dad having to make up time at the newspaper, it was pretty hard to plan a time. We finally figured out we were all free on Friday for a few hours. That morning my mom called & said she was worried about the rain on the roads from the night before, that it would be too dangerous, and wanted to reschedule. (This is rain, folks, no where near ice) Luckily I talked her out of it, it would have been at least a week before schedules met up again. So on Friday we got together with my parents for what I dubbed "Second Christmas"!

I have yet to sort through all of the photos. I did fill up all of the space, but who knows if anything will turn out!

As for presents ~ I got these cute silver flats, some houndstooth rainboots, Chibi Robo for the DS, Creature Comforts America, a DVD player for the workroom (finally!), quilling supplies, some gift cards & other random things. I also got a few crafting books, but will wait to talk about those along with a proper review of each. Now I am looking around & trying to figure out where to *put* everything.
