Surviving Christmas

Well, it's over. No more presents. No more holiday cheer. No more Bing Crosby. I can't believe it goes by so fast! It was our first experience on our own and we had such a great time. After waking up super early on Christmas morning, we went over to our friends, Jo and Justin (and new baby Siena!), to have Christmas dinner with 8 other lovely folks. It was a great time with friends and the food was amazing. The boys all played football after the feast and of course all us girls ooh'd and aah'd over baby Siena.

The day after Christmas I was supposed to go into work, but at the last minute sent an email to the team calling in a last minute vacation day. Derek and I had gotten so many gift cards we had to go after-Christmas shopping! The big purchases for the day were Guitar Hero World Tour complete band set, and a new camcorder so we can record ultrasounds and baby in 2009. I'm not sure we got off the couch from Friday afternoon until a party we had to go to Saturday evening. Why is Guitar Hero so addicting!

On Saturday, my boss Heather hosted a Peppermint Twist Holiday Party. It was a gorgeous time, with fabulous food and good company. And the most horribly outrageous Dirty Santa gifts ever exchanged - well, I heard there were a few decent gifts, but I don't think I can say mine was. I won't reveal the gift to spare the giver's feelings.

So now it's already Monday and we are back to work (well, it's lunchtime so I'm technically not working while updating this blog). We still have New Year's Eve to celebrate and let us not forget the OU Championship game!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and enjoy the New Year!
