The Newlywed Life: Christmas 2007

Brian and I were so blessed this Christmas!! It was a little crazy at times, between finishing up school for the semester, working like crazy, wrapping presents, and packing to go everywhere but we had a great first Christmas together. We both worked part of the day on Christmas Eve and then we drove to Brian's parent's house in Fairfield (not too far from Dallas if you don't know where it's at). We enjoyed dinner with his parents, brother, sister in law, two adorable nephews, and family friends. We had a great time watching his nephews Riley & Bryson open presents, but somehow the only pictures we have are on Brian's mom's camera! Brian and I each took a present for eachother to open there. He gave me my diamond stud earrings that I absolutely love!! I gave him his diploma framed to put in his office and a tie rack...kinda nerdy I know, but he needed one!

Brian and I woke up early Christmas morning in time to have breakfast with his parent's and then stop by his grandma's on our way out of town and then we were on the road again to my grandparent's. We always open presents in the gameroom at my granny's house and it never ceases to amaze me at how the gameroom is exploding with presents. This was a really fun Christmas, because it was Aaron's first!! He was definitely spoiled this Christmas!! We ended the night at my dad's where we got to hang out with family and just have a really great time. We got to spend alot of time with my big brother Jason and Sonya and that was great. Even though they just live in Huntsville we're always all so busy that we don't get to spend alot of time together.

Brian and I were truly blessed this Christmas and it was a great first Christmas, but I think we're both glad it's over because it was crazy busy! We are still working on taking the tree down, but hey we may get it down by Valentine's!
