Crash Pics
I found out today that the driver was drunk and still had his foot on the gas even after he crashed. He didn't even break--no skid marks. He's going to jail after he gets out of the hospital. Here are some more insane pics and a nice peak into the loan room and bathroom in our branch.
Inside the bathroom
Wave to the inside...

CRAZY
So...a car crashed through my bank today while we were in the building doing closing procedures. Literally, half inside our branch and half out...smoke, screeching engine, fire alarm, 911 response, the works. Driver's okay....but how WEIRD is that?!?!

Christmas Tree Lane
Marcos and I drove down Christmas Tree Lane this year with Thomas and Amy. It is SO fun to drive by lots of houses with TONS of lights and decorations! For those unfamiliar with Fresno's Christmas Tree Lane...
**It consists of 2 miles of 140 homes and 300 trees decorated with lights
**It has been around for 86 years, making it one of the longest-running holiday events nationwide
**It began in 1920 with the decoration of a single tree in memory of a child who died
**More than 100,000 people visit Christmas Tree Lane each year

Oh, Christmas Tree
Once upon a time (of 2 years ago) Marcos and I had our first Christmas together. We got a traditionally real Christmas tree, complete with shedding needles and woody tree smell. But then, when it was time to take it down, we noticed our beloved tree had left us a little gift of it's own--a large stain of dirty tree water on sopping wet carpet that no amount of scrubbing would remedy...
...Thus enters this year's fake Christmas tree! 4 1/2 feet of never-dying, never-leaking, pre-lit Christmas cheer that fits our little apartment perfectly.

Now we can live happily ever after with some shred of hope to get a bit of our rental deposit back, while still being festive.

Game Night
After the parade we went over to Dave & Amy Noalls (young married couple in our ward) and played Monopoly for about 3 hours. It was a new version where the money was all in hundreds of thousands and millions. (crazy inflation) It was really fun, except that the math with those large numbers gets pretty sticky! The game had modern places on the board (i.e. you can buy Disney World).
We put the scores in the picture. I have a sad face, because I went bankrupt when I landed on Times Square (aka Boardwalk) with a hotel and couldn't fork over the $20,000,000.00.
If you have ever played games with Marcos, you'll know 4 important facts:
1. He always wins.
2. He sometimes cheats.
3. He plays exactly by the rule book.
4. He argues 'till the death.
For those who have played games with Marcos, I'm sorry. :) You'll understand how it is the MOST fun you've ever had being annoyed during a game EVER.

Clovis Christmas Parade 2008
On Saturday we went to the Christmas parade in Old Town Clovis. I really enjoy this every year. We get all bundled up, sit in the freezing cold, have yummy hot chocolate and popcorn, and watch cars and trolleys of every kind decked out in lights pass by. There are a bunch of cool Corvettes, rock crawlers, and off-road vehicles that are favorites.
There aren't a lot of pictures of the parade cars, because it's hard to take pictures that look good in the dark. Also, we left early to play games with some friends. We still had lots of fun with family!
