A Very Happy Holiday

Having two weeks ina row with four days off, at home, was so luxurious. I cut out a little early on the 23rd and went home to buzz about the house. On the 24th Mike and I treated ourselves with a trip to the movies. The 10:20am Invictus show was empty and besides us there were only 4 others. The movie was so great and only got us more excited to plan our 2011 return to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup (yay!). Afterwards, we stopped into Meijer to pick up a few odds and ends and then went home to enjoy a nice dinner (3 fishes!). Christmas was just as nice. Mike went hunting, I went upstairs and wrapped presents while watching "Love Actually". That is such an amazingly good movie and it was great to watch it on Christmas morning. We opened our presents and then ventured over to Charlie and Sarah's for a little Christmas with the Sageman's. We made crepes with either ham & cheese or a berry compote for a delicious and light lunch/brunch. We played Wii for a while and then headed over to Mom's for Christmas with the family. We had soups and sandwiches that were delicious and we had lots of fun. Saturday, we made two batches of beer at the winery and relaxed some more. Finally, Sunday we capped off the weekend with a final Christmas party with the Moore's.

New Years was just as nice. I took Thursday off and went to hang out with Tiffany, Nathan and the family. It was a really nice time. Then Mike went hunting again before we headed into town to have New Years with Nate, Tara, Denise, Chris, Nicolette, Tom and Amanda. Sooooooooooooo much fun. I didn't get too tipsy, but I sure enjoyed being with all of our great friends to ring in the New Year. the rest of the weekend was enjoying my hubby at home and a deer hunt for Mike with Ben, Will and Smurf. What fun!
