Christmas Day 12-25-07

Jodie's Mom Norene and her son Chris at Kenny's house. He'd just made a comment about her age and she was pretending she was going to smack him! :-)



Abby with a coat on... this is rare as she usually never wears a coat during Winter. She usually only wears a hoodie!

I had to work on Christmas day evening, but I did get to go out and have a delicious dinner at Debbie and Harvey's place in the afternoon. After visiting there for awhile, then Erin, Abby, Ryan and I headed up to Kenny and Linda's place. I didn't eat anything there although Linda had prepared a lovely meal. I didn't want to overstuff myself and then go to work later and have a hard time staying awake. Ha Ha! I had to leave their place at 6:00 so I could go to work and be there by 6:30 p.m. I'd rather have visited awhile longer, but there WAS a nice compensation of being paid TRIPLE time at work so... Actually I worked both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Our "Sunshine Club" at work provided a little meal for those of us who had to work on Christmas too so that was nice.

The following week I had to work New Year's Eve as well. :-( But again, I'll be nicely compensated for it in my paycheck. I then had New Year's Day off and the two days following it as my regularly scheduled days off... like a mini-vacation in the middle of the week.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!
