A Documentation of Our New Life Together as a New Family



Yes this is our first Christmas as a married couple, but we got to do all the crazy running around last year too trying to make it to all the Christmas'. First off it is my dad's birthday Christmas Eve, so we went down to my parents that afternoon and gave him his present and spent some time with them. We then headed to my Grandma & Grandpa J's as we do every year for Christmas that evening. This year we decided to add some games to our gathering. We played some BINGO, Left Right Christmas Story and Pictionary. It was getting pretty late when we played pictionary so it got pretty interesting and funny! It was a good way to start out the Christmas weekend.

Christmas night we came home and my parents and brohter came down and we had dinner, watched movies and opened our stockings. On Saturday we had our Christmas morning with my parents and brother. Later that day Terra came and joined us. The boys (Jared & Nick) goth new paint ball guns so they had fun getting them set up and playing with them. It was a fun day of just hanging out together.

Nick & Terra, she got new Carhartt for Christmas so she will stay warm when outside with Nick

Jared and all of his new Carhartt and paint ball gun. To say the least he was a very happy guy on Christmas

Jared and I held our first Christmas Party this year, and hopefully the first of many to come! When it comes to holiday parties it seems that there are set people that have the same holiday each year; Labor Day, New Years, Halloween and now Christmas! We had appetizers and yummy Christmas desserts. We had a gift exchange, which got pretty intense from people stealing back and forth, and we also played the left right Christmas story. We had a lot of fun just hanging out and spending time with friends.
