Christmas Eve...Jew Style

I am Jewish...big shock, i know! So as a litle jew growing up in a world of christmas, there was never anything to do on christmas day. So all the jews go to the movies and for chinese food (those are the only things open on christmas day!). So afting marrying chris, and embrassing real christmas, i began to miss my jewish christmas!! So we turned christmas eve into a jewish christmas!

So last night i am happy to say, we went to the movies and saw the new National Treasure movie. It wasnt' bad and we had popcorn! (i love popcorn!!) then after the movie we went over to the best chinese food place ever!! it is a very over the top resturant with fish tanks, a gold ceiling and little chinese guys in tuxedos! the food was so bad for you and so good!!!

hope you are all enjoying your christmas traditions and see you in the new year!!

The Blogmaster speaks

"Let's do a blog Chris...just like Brad and Lauren...it is such a good idea...people can keep track of our lives....it will be so great....i will do all the posting.....omg i am sooo excited..."

That's the story of our blog
Here's the reality

"Chris i dont know how to upload the photos.....Chris the photos you uploaded, fixed and resized in another program wont "work" for me....Chris i wasnt really listening when you were trying to teach me how to do it myself.......Chris can you just put the photos up.....Chris can you also do the blog cause it doesnt seem to work when i do it."

So, after finally getting a moment to upload, resize etc and post here it is..... No thanks to Dani. Although she is in the latest photos so i guess she should get some credit for sitting there and looking beautiful and drinking wine and eating cake etc. etc.

Birthday Wishes!

I know we have been a little slack lately with the blog, so even though i haven't downloaded the pictures yet, i wanted to put up a posting!

I had a fantastic birthday last weekend thanks to efforts of Christopher! He arranged a wonderful dinner filled with all the things i love that i don't eat because they aren't good for me! He was able to get home before me and set the dining room table with my favorite wine and candles (which means we ate at a table and not on our laps in front of the TV like we do every other night!). He brought in my favorite Italian food and i am embarrassed to say i ate it all! He got a fantastic cake...my favorite kind- butter cream icing, white cake and strawberry filling!! YUMMY!!!! We caught up with Kristy and Sean for a bit and then had a early night! If the dinner and friends weren't enough, i had a great a day at school too... it was dress down day, there were presents and brownies with my students, and more presents and pudding pie with the girls (and guy) i work with! Kristy went above and beyond and got me a beautiful Swaroski bracelet, Kathy got me my favorite wine, my sister got me a super soft sweater that i love, my mommy promised to take me shopping and Chris got me a huge mirror for our room (which I've been asking for!) and the wine glasses i wanted from pier one!!! He also had beautiful flowers sent to school and took care of all the dishes and cleaning that weekend! The celebration continued Saturday with another great meal out with my parents and then Sunday it snowed and i didn't have to teach Hebrew school!

All and all a fantastic birthday filled with loved ones, super presents and great food! What more could i want?
