Hi there - thanks for visiting and looking at my photos:) and don't worry - you're not a bad LJ friend, you're just busy! I'm sorry I nagged you so much about not seeing my posts, but I knew you'd be interested in seeing my pics:) Anyway, I'm so sorry that your mom is having trouble finding a job, but it seems like you found a good solution to the Christmas dilemma, and your new tradition is full of wonderful spirit! In the end, what really matters is just being together with those we love, not just giving them stuff!

Things are going well here - my husband and I are getting along very well, and we're both looking for work. Hopefully soon things will settle into some kind of routine, but for now, we're just rolling along. We're eating well, staying warm, and relaxing. and my in-laws are being great too. So I'm happy.

I'll be posting more pics in the next couple days, as well as a description of my house, and more about New Year's.

do you have big plans for NY Eve? anyway, have a great week, and enjoy your time with family. and Happy New Year!

*hugs*
