Christmastime

I think it's appropriate to just now be posting about Christmas since it is just now beginning to actually look like Christmas outside.
"Dear snow, where have you been the past three months? Just curious. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind your tardiness. Just please promise that you'll be gone by my birthday. Thanks."

Tom and I chopped down our own little tree the day after Thanksgiving.

I loved having Christmas on a Sunday this year. It gave us the opportunity to go church, sing Christmas hymns and remember what the day is really all about. As you can see, I didn't even take the time to change out of my dress before opening presents. I was too excited! I should have changed back into pajamas though. I find them more appropriate and much more comfortable when opening gifts.
Tom and I loved our first Christmas together as a married couple!

And we were blessed to be able to spend it with both of our families.

As crazy as they may be, we still love them!

My favorite gift? That is a tough question, but I would have to say the electric blanket that Tom gave me. I use it every night and it keeps me toasty warm. We may not have had much snow this season, but it's been COLD!




What a wonderful time of year! We are so blessed.
Merry Christmas everyone!
