This Christmas was so much fun. We were able to spend time with family and lots of friends. Ashley was most excited about wearing her special dress her Grandma gave her. She was so excited about it that she wore it to Christmas Eve Mass and our friends house for Christmas Eve dinner and again the next day for Christmas dinner.
Above is Ashley modeling her beautiful dress from Grandma.
Here she is wearing a winter coat her Great-Aunt Anna got for her.
My sister was home from college and Ashley couldn't get enough of Chrissy. Ashley really, really misses her Aunt!
I was off from work the entire 2 weeks (going back to work tomorrow morning is going to be painful). As a result, we were able to see a ton of friends, eat lots of yummy lunches, go to the park many times and even visit Lake Poway to feed the ducks with Dad.
And here I am with my two of my great friends from high school, Jaime and Jodi. It was so much fun seeing them and their little kids!
All in all, it was a great relaxing break spending so much time with Ashley, plus I read 12 books which was so fantastic because I don't read as often as I'd like. And as a bonus, I finally got to see Twilight last night...Jeff is such a great husband that he actually went with me when I asked!
Comments
I actually didn't really like it and Jeff liked is even less (which is to be somewhat expected). It was just awkward to watch mainly because of the acting. I thought Robert Pattinson (Edward) came off as very awkward rather than the smooth Edward I imagined and I thought he overacted the scenes a lot. There were some good scenes where I just enjoyed the movie and didn't think about the acting, I just wish there were more scenes like that.
My opinion: Wait for it to come out on DVD.
Meliss--I can't believe you blasted thru all those books. that's awesome. Lets hang out this month. hehe
