God Jul!

Merry Christmas! It's here and has been a great day. I'm celebrating the holidays with Evan and a friend of his, Mitchell, who is taking a DTS in France. We celebrated a Norwegian Christmas last night with the Vestbostads, and a North American Christmas this morning, complete with opening presents and cinnamon rolls. I am trying out my "maternal" (?) instincts and have made breakfast (cinnamon rolls, ham and egg casserole, fruit plate), dinner (ham, rolls, vegetables, mashed potatoes - which Evan really made), and dessert - a chocolate/caramel pie. It's hard work! It was really nice though - great presents and lots of fun. Evan's parents even sent gifts for me - Starbucks! It would be great to be home for the holidays, but Evan and Mitch are great to be with. The only thing that would be better is if my family would call me!! (hint, hint). My friend Amy from college is coming tomorrow night and will be here for New Year's, so I'm looking forward to that as well.
Happy Holidays!

What a wonderful holiday! I think we even have the same slippers...the cream, fuzzy ones. Are they from the Gap?


Anyway, glad you had a great time. :)

Love & miss you...
