Holidays Update

It's been awhile since I've written, with the end of the year and holidays upon me I haven't had much time to write.

The Secret Santa exchange among all of my friends was an amazing way to start the holidays. Celebrating the holidays and finding out my Secret Santa was something I'll never forget. After much anticipation I was excited to find out that Val was my Secret Santa. I got scrap booking stuff that I really wanted, as I have been meaning to start scrap booking my adventures with BDHOF (on my to do list). Tom surprised us all and gave everyone their own gift as well. Thanks Tom for my new Rangers shirt (that actually fits unlike my free LARGE shirt my dad gave me)! We ourselves surprised Tom as well with a few gifts in appreciation for all that he has done for us over the past 7+ months and many more to come. Ilana, Christie, Ann Marie and I started thinking and got creative/personal. Results: a puzzle of Tom and Diego (his adorable dog), a few dog toys for Diego and a home made photo collage of all of the events/memories we've had with Tom. I love making gifts, so seeing the happy smile on Tom's face when he opened his presents made it all worth it.

Spending a week in California with all of my family including my grandmother from Hungary was the best present I could ever ask for. I haven't seen my grandmother since 2007, so being able to spend some quality time with her and the rest of my family was amazing. We even had Christmas dinner on the patio since it was a warm 80 degress on Christmas Day.

In addition to spending time with family I was able to see a few friends that I haven't seen in what seemed like ages. Franco even suprised me when he showed up at Tony's birthday at Buffalo Wild Wings. It was great to see him as well as Tony, Kris and Eerin. Always a good time catching up with old friends, especially in person.

What a great holiday season this was, here's to many more.
