happy birthday, Jesus!

well, three days of working down and seven to go. i am just trying to face each day as it comes and then maybe i won't be overwhelmed by how much i am working.

despite all the working, we managed to have a great Christmas eve. we had some old friends over and went to the midnight candlelight service to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus.

On Thursday my friend Monica came to visit and we took the dogs to the park in their new sweaters.

NERTZ!


i can't believe it actually snowed on Christmas day! It would have been a lot nicer if i hadn't had to work. standing outside in the snow all afternoon was not very fun, and i'll have to do it again tomorrow. i just have to keep thinking about my nice Christmas paycheck!!
