I was stuck on the 91 on Saturday trying to get home for SIX hours. The fire was terrible and tragic…and made me want to pull out my hair because I literally couldn’t get home. My parent’s home is fine – just smells like a camp fire – and Grandma was temporarily evacuated, but she’s home now. I don’t know anyone who lost a home, but I have heard of friends of friends situations who have. So sad. Here’s a pic from my car when I was at the 91/71 interchange for two hours without moving. They sent all traffic up the 71, and then there was a terrible accident there. Idiots…

We had a little friends Thanksgiving dinner at Clare and Matt’s house that Jennifer actually planned, but because of the ashes and fires, had to be moved from her house. It was delicious and fun to be surrounded by a large group of friends. I made some soup, which was a disaster…tasted like hot apple sauce and not the squash/apple soup concoction that I copied off of someone else’s blog! Ha!

While we were all hanging out (me with gorgeous little Jackson on my lap), Jennifer asked us all what our favorite Christmas songs were. I couldn’t think of a favorite carol, but there are two songs that I LOVE to hear at Christmas time and keep in the rotation on my iPod. Enjoy!

Christmas Song, by Dave Matthews

Point of Grace, When Love Came Down (don’t mind the cheesy video)
