Holiday Happenings

Hello again. A lot has transpired since I last wrote. :-) I am sitting here writing this from my new MacBook which Darren got me for Christmas. :-)

Dec. 23, Frank and Michelle (friends who grew up with Darren in high school) came over for pizza and games. It was a lot of fun.

Darren and I both had to work on Christmas Day, so we celebrated on Christmas Eve day. We went to his sister's house for brunch, usually his mom would cook a big breakfast for their family get together. LeAnn did a great job of recreating everything and we had food galore. After spending some time over there visiting, eating and opening gifts; Darren, Hunter and I headed back to our house to have our "Christmas". Mainly we just opened presents, as we were too stuffed to eat anything. :-p My side of the family had their get together on the Sunday after Christmas, but due to Darren & my work schedule, we will be unable to attend this year. :-(

Christmas Day was very busy at work, which really is odd...

I got sick this past weekend, so spent most of my time in the bed or on the couch. :-p I am grateful that it did not last longer than about 2 days...

Sunday night I had invited a group of friends to meet us at Carrabba's for Darren's birthday dinner. We were happy to have so many friends come out and join us, and enjoyed a good time of fellowship. Of course, we also enjoyed the YUMMY food! 

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the mall...checking out some of the sales. We had a gift card we needed to use and were able to get several items that we needed/wanted. It was nice to spend relaxed time with each other too.  

Today, it is getting back to the normal routine...whatever that is. :-p
