'Tis the Season

...For Family, Friends, Fun and Love!

Below are a few things I thought I'd share with you all--

#1 We've been having little contests and whatnot at work for Christmas, and today was a painting contest with microsoft paint, and here's what I submitted. I got quite a lot of compliments and took a good 2 hours between calls to make this:

#2 This past Sunday I had a small Christmas party/gift exchange at my place. Although there was unwanted drama with a friend, who shall remain nameless, we had lots of fun and I got some really great & thoughtful gifts from my wonderful, caring friends. Here are a few photos below:

Bridgette got me this Audrey Hepburn "Life In Pictures" book!!

It's got quotes and tons of photos of her throughout her lifetime :)

Also from Bridgette, a photo film strip that's now hanging on the wall in my room!

Kyleigh got me a digital photo frame! I'd been wanting one for a while :)

#3 Thought I'd share that I can't wait to go home next Thursday and see my family! I'm sad I won't be able to see Keri, Merrill and Ellie though :( But I'm planning on flying out to Portland in March for Ellie's 1st bday! Speaking of the cute lil' one, here's a couple photos of her that Keri recently posted:





Love this photo of Ellie! How she's sitting and looking at the camera/Keri :)
