Merry Christmas!

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11

This may very well be my favorite bible verse. In my opinion, it was the best piece of news ever told. That's why this is such a great holiday. I've been so busy that I never did get any Christmas cards out, and I guess it's pretty much too late at this point. I've got so much to do that the part of my brain that helps me prioritize and get things done has shut down, and that is why I am here updating my blog when I should be working or cleaning. Ben and I did manage to put together a gingerbread house while Thanh and Maura were in Jax watching the Jags get beaten by the Colts on Thursday. Thanh and I had a great time helping Maura make sugar cookies in Mr. Seneca's 4th-grade class after they put on a very nice play for the parents. Oh, and we adopted the class pet-a ball python named Scooby. He had to find a new home because there is now a school rule about no class pets. I don't think I ever saw the thing completely out of its hiding box before I agreed to take it home or it may not have happened. I walked into Maura's room that evening and he was stretched out across the aquarium-all 3 feet of him! It kinda gives me the willies, but as long as I don't have to actually touch the thing it will be alright. Mr. Seneca assures me he can't escape (as long as we remember to lock the lid).

I added a picture of my sister at her baby shower. Did I mention I'm excited about becoming an aunt? Ayden will be here soon and we can't wait!!!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
