John & I had a very nice Christmas this year. We got to video conference with his family, which was awesome; and, we enjoyed a really nice few days together!
On Christmas Day, we hung out at home most of the day, opened our gifts, and then went to see the Curios Case of Benjamin Button. It was really freakin’ good. I highly recommend it. It never felt slow, even though it was almost 3 hours long. The story was really engaging and told very well.
John’s family got me After Hours by WAS, Sleeping Beauty Deluxe Edition DVD and a Wave Wireless Keyboard and Mouse! John got me Don’t Mess with the Zohan and a Mogwai t-shirt. My grandma gave me $50, which I spent $20 of already. I bought a Cracker / Camper ticket for the show near San Diego. I’m really excited about it! It’s on the 29th. I like to try to do fun things on Dec 29th, as it’s the day my mom died (15 years ago) and I don’t want to be depressed. I can’t believe it’s been 15 years! Wow. I miss her so much!
Anyhow, after the movie, John made us dinner (rice and veggie stir fry), and we played Tetris. We were going to go out to dinner, but most restaurants were closed on Christmas; so, we went to dinner on the 26th instead.. We ended up at Granville Cafe at the Americana. The food was amazing! We also had nutella and strawberry crepes for dessert from the Crepe Maker in front of Barnes & Noble (which we snuck in to eat the crepes). It was really cold last night!
Today, I cleaned a bit, then put up the rest of the photos from the Tahoe Trip. I also put up some cute kitty pix and Christmas / Hanukkah pix as well.
Below are some videos of us driving through a snow storm. Scary!
