This year's holiday cheer has been merry despite all of the mad rushes, road ragers and Christmas haters. Especially during this time, it's such a blessing to know that people consider you during the holidays with thoughts of love and well wishes. Thanks everybody for the Christmas cards and pictures.

Justin and I got our first gift as a couple from my sister...Scattergories! We had a blast playing it too. It's a game that requires you to think quickly and act fast. So after filling our belly's with holiday tostada's and lemon pie, we versed Dale and Melissa to a round of scattergories. And I am proud to say, "we whipped their butts so bad!" I mean, we had a few times when a word needed to be challenged like Justin's word- A flower that starts with the letter 'F': answer- FEATHER LILY. Or a bird that starts with the letter 'F': answer- FAWN. ( Maybe he just got a little too excited). But that's not as bad as Dale's answer for a toy that starts with the letter 'S':STAPLER. Or a villain that starts with the letter 'F': FUNGUSMAN(?) What the fungus were these guy's thinking? Either way we had a great time with my sister and her fiance. And Justin and I are pretty much like, the masters of Scattegories now. So who wants to verse us?

So last Friday we had the pleasure of going on another fun-filled boat ride with Jim and Martina and a group of other friends. It was such an awesome time. We had great food catered by Jonny Corino's (thanks Ken) and what seemed like an endless display of festive lights. It was perfect. I was glowing all night. Literally because of the reflection from all of the illuminating lights bouncing off my cheeks and forehead but also because prior to the trip, Justin thought I would enjoy reading a magazine during the drive up to Newport. So...he bought me THIS! For all of you who have been pondering, this may enlighten your curiosity a bit. ( who else has goose bumps and a big cheesy smile now besides me?)
