2 more to go!  I had my Christmas party last night and it went off great!  There was 15 people at my place having a full on Turkey dinner.  Everyone pitched in a little with drinks and desserts and food and it was so good!  I barely have any leftovers which is good because we leave in three days for Lloydminister and we didnt want to have any food go moldy in the fridge or something.  Although we do need to drink an amazing amount of eggnog thanks to Herman but I dont drink eggnog, so I guess it is up to Curtis.

We got some neat presents and everyone seemed to like their gifts as well.  My favorite present would have had to be the giant sized gingerbread boy pan.  So cool!

I would have to say, though, that the funnest part of the night was the Guitar Hero 3 competition.  Gotta love it!  My cousin Erin brought it over and a lot of us took turns playing.  I got 97% on one.  Woohoo!  Well I have to admit it was on the easy level, but hey, it said You Rock! 

Two more Christmas parties to go.  Tonight is my work Christmas party (yawn) and tomorrow is the Vertical Edge (the jr youth I volunteer at) Christmas party which should be lots of fun.  I think I will do my hair fun for that one.

I will post some pictures when I upload them onto the computer.  So if I cant do that until after Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS!


Wednesday, December 05, 2007

Well our move went well (we moved to the other side of abbotsford) and we are starting to get settled in.  Christmas celebrations are now in full swing.  Tonight is Curtis' Christmas banquet at college so I had to get all dressed up.  I don't always like getting dressed especially since I had to rush home from work to make it on time.  Oh well.

Tomorrow night is Curtis' work Christmas party and then Saturday we go to the production at the church and I volunteer the next day at the production.  Monday I have our small group Christmas party which I have to make a turkey for.  It will only be my second time making a turkey by myself.  Hope it turns out well.

So other than that on the 14th is my upstairs neighbors Christmas party then the 16th is my Christmas party, the 17th is my work Christmas party and the 18 is the junior youth Christmas party and then on the 20th we fly to Lloydminister to be with Curtis' family.  So really I only have 6 nights in the whole of December to get settled in completely.  Ugh.

So enjoy every spare moment you have because I am sure a lot of you have busy schedules like me.  I will post pictures later of all the special events.
