Christmas Eve!

Even though growing up comes with changes in how Christmas feels, there is still something magical about it, which I hope never changes.

This year, I was able to help Frank decorate his house with lots of gold garland, icicle lights, big fat colored lights, window stick ons and even got us in the mood with a Christmas jazz CD! It was so much fun and just got me in the Christmas spirit even more :)

I also got to see my Brittany the last two days! We usually only get to see each other once a year at Donner Mine, but this year will *hopefully* be THREE times - DMMC, Christmas and a trip to LA in January! I always have so much fun with her, and this time was no exception. We even stayed up until 4am laughing, as quietly as we could. Love love love love love.

The only unfortunate thing is that I had several days off, but now I had to work last night as a breaker, TONIGHT (Christmas Eve) from 4 until ?, and the day after Christmas from 4 until ?. I am at least thankful that Olive Garden is cool enough to close on Thanksgiving and Christmas days.That gives me time to wake up and open presents with my family and then head over to Frank parents to have a Christmas dinner and to hang out with them!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas and that the holiday brings joy and happiness!!
