Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!  

Gillen cousins (sans Scott) with Grandma and Grandpa

Celebrate we will

In this season let us not take one another and the moments we share for granted.  Love your family.  Love your friends.  Celebrate every moment, because life is short...but sweet, for certain.  ♥

So blog readers what are you planning to do to celebrate this Christmas season?

 

Busy lil KT Bee!

Oh well hello there...why yes world I am still here.  Actually I've been here, there and EVERYWHERE lately!  Hmmm so at last update I'd spent lots of time and energy fixing up my house.  Since then it's been non-stop excitement!  Some highlights include...

Jessica's Bachelorette Party in NYC!  Shopping in the city and then out to Lips, the best in drag queen dining!

A good time was had by all ;o)

 

 

Then came the Oireachtas.  G'bless you, you say?  It's pronounced Oh-rock-tis.  It's the regional Irish step dance competition.  Lots of crazy Irish people running around the Providence Convention Center.  

 

 and really what would an Irish dance competition be without a trip to an Irish pub? 

Then of course it was Thanksgiving.  Good food, good wine, family...who can ask for anything more?  

And now you ask yourself...can there be any more?  How is this girl still upright?  (I mean wouldn't you need a day or three off after all this??? The answer is yes, but I still go to work because I like to take fantastic vacations to exotic destinations...or pretty much Ireland, that's exotic right?)  

BUT WAIT...there IS more!

Well my friends Jessica had her last bash as a bachelorette...so of course she got married!

 It was a beautiful wedding...and one heckuva party!!

Can there be more?  of course...I said I've been busy!!!!

I am the youth director of my church's youth group, and we had a fundraiser this past weekend to help pay for stuff we do.  It's an annual event that really helps set the mood for Christmas!  We decorated and sold 170 Christmas wreaths to the parish in two days! 

*phew*  Are you tired yet?  I know I am!!  The fun doesn't stop here...Christmas time is always a busy and yet rewarding time of the year.  You get to shower your friends and family with love and gifties...and really who doesn't love when that happens!?!?!?!
