A Very Merry Un-Birthday to Jesus!

Yes, that's right, your parents lied to you. Jesus was actually born on April 5th, but I guess we celebrate today because of all the presents Santa brings. It actually has something to do with the pagan sun god, but he doesn't bring me presents so I don't care. I have plenty to say about Christmas morning, presents, etc. but for now, here are a couple pictures that I took yesterday.

Jocelyn's friends came to visit her on her first day out of the hospital, so we had cheese, crackers, and cookies. My dad got in a lot of trouble because he took a big chunk out of the cheese before anyone got here:

Jocelyn with her friends:

Darren and Alice:

I'm sure Jocelyn will have more pictures up on her blog soon, I know I saw her taking them.

In other news, now that Jocelyn is out of the hospital, she is back to blogging on the Rock Star Diary!

After having lost 14lbs in the hospital (so jealous):

I took some more pictures of the beautiful tulips from Brent (more on the way too):

Aren't they just the most gorgeous flowers you've ever seen?

After talking with Jocelyn and her friends for a while, I went to Greenwich Ave. to do a little last minute shopping. I know that Christmas Eve is really last minute, but I was actually done shopping and just wanted to go out and get everyone a little something extra, partly just because I wanted to get out of the house for a little while on the beautiful, 65 degree day we had yesterday. 65 degrees is definitely warmer than any Christmas Eve I can remember.

At Greenwich Avenue, I saw the new Rugby store and the Rolex town clock I mentioned in There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays:

Lastly, I took a few random pictures of store windows all decked out for Christmas:

That brings us to the end of this entry. I'll be back soon with pictures from last night and this morning. Merry Christmas everyone!

Gorgeous picture--especially of my newly flat belly! Morphine and an IV are the best diet EVER!
