Our Christmas

Wow...Christmas is already over! And now we're headed towards new years.
Well the holidays have been filled with firsts for our family. Most important one, Payton had her first Christmas!

She also had her first set of shots on the 21st. Man...talk about tough! For mom & dad that is! I teared up seeing her big ol'crockadile tears!

Another first for me, being laid off for lack of work! :o( I no longer work at Briggs Engineering. The economy is so slow that the company hit it's 8th round of layoffs, and unfortunately I was part of that! The hope is that they pick up around spring time. And I can go back. But only time will tell. I know it wasn't personal, if it were, I would have been gone a long time ago! I just miss using a different part of my brain that I haven't used since October 21st! ha..ha... I am looking for other places, but taking my time and being a little finicky at the moment. Has to be just the right fit. I have un-employment coming in, and we have a little saved up, so in a sense, I'm taking an extended maturity leave while looking for another job. With the hopes that I can go back to Briggs in the spring, even if its part time. I loved working there, enjoyed my job on so many levels. I've never had a job that I enjoyed this much. Wish me luck!!

We had a white Christmas this year! Haven't had one in a while! The picture below was taken before we really got dumped on, but the lights look so pretty with the snow!

We spent Christmas eve with my mom at her house, and then Christmas morning we got up had our Christmas, and then headed to Nicks parents house to have brunch and open gifts there. Then later that afternoon had the Fusselman family Christmas at the church gym.
It was nice to see everyone and enjoy extended family time!

We hope everyones Christmas was as enjoyable as ours was, and that everyone took the time to soak up the little moments that the holidays had to offer.
