SEASONS OF OUR NEW LIFE: Our First Christmas

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.

On Christmas day we got up and had our Christmas together and then packed up and headed to Greenwood to Jared's sisters. This year was a lot of fun with Lauryn, she was really into all of her gifts and trying them all out as soon as she opened them. We had lunch there and played some wii and Lauryn started trying on her dress up clothes we got her. She wanted to wear them all at one time, it was so cute. We also played pass around the baby. With Alex being still new to us all we all wanted to snuggle her.

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.
