christmas in TN

my first christmas in nashville was pretty amazing. i went into work to take care of my giraffe. i gave them lots of goodies- broccoli, sweet potato, carrots, lettuce, bamboo and some branches to nibble on. on holiday's we don't work a full day so i was out of there by 9:30. i always giggle when i think of the days we leave early and don't come back because i can just picture damani saying, "huh. where did she GO!?!" lauren and i came home and we opened our stockings. the dogs (with help from justin) gave me a pet hair remover :) and lots of snickers bars. we had a big breakfast, orange juice and grey goose vodka and then we (justin, me, ryan, lauren and the 4 puppies) opened all the presents. i got a lot of wonderful things- goodies for the colorado trip, money, and more. the absolute best gift was a Tiffany's heart necklace from Justin. he is so dang great. we watched lots of christmas movies, napped, and just relaxed. it was back to work this morning for a full day. my vacation is just around the corner- i have to work a 1/2 day tomorrow then i am done until jan 5th. GLORIOUS!!!! justin and i leave monday for colorado :)
