Hard to believe, but Christmas has come and gone, and now we're staring 2009 square in the face. Where did the time go? Looking back on the year, it's amazing how many changes have come to our lives.
Christmas was really nice this year. Darren and Megan spent the holiday with us. Darren made a great meal, we opened gifts and went to church, then stayed up until 4 AM talking to my brother and his girlfriend. Reminiscing, telling stories. It was a nice first Christmas together.
Christmas Day we had lunch at my mom's and dinner with Darren's family while the boys went with their dad. Darren's dad makes beautiful wooden pens and gave me a set of two - I was really touched by the gesture.
Of course on Christmas night we had to meet up with our friends at Loppnow's for a holiday drink and the funniest thing of the week walked in the door in the form of our friend Derek, who lost a bet and was forced to wear nothing but long johns and a pimp jacket to the bar. You've gotta love THAT photo - hysterical!
After six days off for me and five for Darren, it's back to work as usual, though we are looking forward to spending New Year's Eve at the Jefferson for John Greiner's Big Band celebration. 2009, here we come.
