A Very Merry Christmas !

Hellloooo... well it is almost over, dinner is done and cleaned up .  I spent the day kind of cleaning up and organizing getting ready for mom's visit !  You can actually see the guest bed !.  So Trevor and I had to work on Christmas Eve/David's birthday yesterday but we got off around 5 and 6:30 so we came home and ate, then opened one gift.  I opened my "secret" Keurig coffee pot :)  That way I could have it set up for Christmas morning.  How nice to not have to deal with filters and loose coffee grounds !  Then we woke up sort of early this morning if you call 8 early ;)  Trevor had to work today , on Christmas, oh well he will get paid extra extra so it's good for him.  We waiting to have Christmas dinner until 5 when he got home.  Now it is time to relax and catch up on some knitting.  I'm trying to finish the babies hats which did not make it into the box :O  oops... Oh I forgot to mention that we tried to get a family picture in front of the tree last night, with all the animals !  after many tries and with me trying to figure out my timer and then barret started bleeding from Spright, we decided that cats weren't obligated to be in the photo ;)  So here are a couple of our pictures ;)

Where to begin?

Wow, it has been months, actually probably only two because we were talking about ball gowns and that was only last month.   I have tomorrow off so I suppose I can stay up late to post some pictures and give a little update.   Let's see... Oh yah, the Marine Corps Ball... First of all David had this idea that he would be on the ball committee.   In his words, it turned into an Epic event ;) , which it was.  It was the best ball that I have ever attended, and many other people felt the same.  It was on the Battleship USS Missouri, and here are some of the pictures.  The only thing I am bummed about was not getting a "great " picture of the two of us.  :(

What's next?  Oh yah, I turned 40 25 !  hehe  Since the ball was the day before, we decided to stay in Waikiki for the whole weekend.  We basically just hung out, ate, and shopped... David doesn't like walking ;)  We met up with friends at Senor Frogs and stayed out til 0 dark thirty ;)

oh check out the fat lip I gave David ;)

Cheryl bought me a Christmas tree ;)

Cheryl & Jess ;)

Ok, well that brings us to Thanksgiving.   I don't have any pictures of that day, I kind of sat on the couch and knit all day.  Trevor worked so we had a late Thanksgiving dinner.  I actually had Black Friday off ;)  We I decided to get a real tree this year so David and I went out and got the tree for my work and picked one up for ourselves as well.  David isn't a fan of Black Friday shopping so I went out on my own, had a little road rage but it's definitely not as bad as shopping in San Diego on Black Friday.  
I have pictures of the tree but I will save all of my photos for a Christmas post later.  There isn't much else going on , except that I am still working two jobs and completely exhausted.  But I will be taking a whole ten days off when mom comes in January !!  Can't wait !
