Christmas events

I was fortunate enough to have christmas day off, took paid time off for the 26th and then had the next three days off this year....totaling 5 days off for christmas!!! Yeah!

Gerry wasn't as fortunate as he missed christmas and will miss new years as well. Looks like he'll have it off next year though because he's switching to a 2-on-2-off schedule. Woohoo!

I spent several days in Willow with my parents, sister Jen, bro-n-law Jimmy, friend Alex. We had a nice meal in the early afternoon Christmas day, talked, sang christmas carols, thanked Jesus for this year, sang Happy Birthday to Jesus with the kiddos, and finally opened up gifts at around 9pm.

Jimmy playing with Jasper. Jasper won over the hearts of this family with his quarky behavior-isms and silly disposition. Even my mom bonded with him after he shed his coat all over the house, scooted his rear end on the carpet (eewww!), and threw up wood chips at 4 in the morning.


Jasper taking turns opening gifts, ha ha!


Playing with awesome camera equipment Alex brought with him provided hours inspiration and creativity.
