Merry Christmas!

in case you didn't already know

we're celebrating a birthday here

now this is what its all about...

Luke 2:1-14
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.
 
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
 
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
 
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

Have a wonderful Christmas!

thru this little happy girl

i swear she does not look like this normally

she's as cute as a button

i say cheese

she yells cheese in her little girl voice with the biggest grin

then

by the time my camera focuses and takes the picture

she is already onto the next exciting thing.

she is spoiled with hugs and kisses and alot of goldfishes

she says "fisssshieees"

i love being an aunty!

touchdown?

have i ever mentioned that

i would rather lick a live fish

than watch football all day.

yay for compromise.

and maybe snuggle time. 

a pleasant post card

Meet Melissa

Melissa and I met when we were both freshman in high school

when i was living in Elk Grove, a little town about 15 minutes South of Sacramento

we just clicked, just like peas and carrots (please say this in a Forrest gump accent) (awesome!jenny)

we spent many nights as "ghosts, making up rap songs, and dances to

"hey Mickey" or "i'ma barbie girl"

please note, there is absolutely NOTHING to do in Elk Grove,

especially when you're only 14

(maybe that's everywhere when you're 14)



some lake, my first experience tanning topless



so when we were 15 and a half my family moved back to orange county

melissa and i stayed friends over the years

the picture above is from my first trip to visit

when we were newly 21

we picked up right where we left off.

from my trip up over the summer

all glammed up for girls night out

fake eye lashes and kissy red lips



this is how we do



so monday night when i got home from a long hard day at work heading for a nice glass of wine

i came across this on the refrigerator

save the date post card, a little beat up from the mail

but beautiful



so happy for them,

tory is such a catch, they truly love, and compliment each other in so many ways

cant wait to share the big day with both of them!

is two hours still fashionably late?

this is what happens when the party starts two hours late

one kitty was thinking of being on the naughty list
