Christmas 2008

I have always been rather obsessed with Christmas, and if you visited my house anytime between November 20th to January 1st, you would not argue with that statement.  I love to celebrate Jesus' birth by decorating, buying gifts, and spending time with family and friends, but for some reason this year seemed different.  I had so many new things to celebrate:  my new last name, my new home, my new puppy, but I just couldn't manage to get my act together.  I have concluded that it is because I am a member of the "working world" now.  So long to the 5 to 6 week break that college offered.  I still had a wonderful Christmas with Michael, family, and friends, and I am so very thankful for the whole reason that we celebrate...Jesus!

Everyone got a little piece of NYC for Christmas

and this is what we found New Year's Eve morning...this is why I need medication!!!!!!
but how can you punish someone that looks at you like this???

I hope that your Christmas was as happy as ours.  I can't wait to see what changes will take place by Christmas 2009!!!
