Christmas

Christmas this year was such a blast, and such an adventure. It was our first year as an official married couple, which made it our first christmas for a lot of things. It was the first time we got to put up our own tree, start our own traditions, and the first year we had to split up our time between our two families. I guess that wasn’t something we really thought about doing, but we got pretty lucky with how it turned out this year. We got to spend lots of time with both families, and were able to participate in almost all the traditions on both sides. We’re both really grateful that our families were so flexible with us this year because it made things pretty easy for us.

This year was everyone’s year to be at Matt’s parents house, which meant we got to see all the nieces and nephews get together for the first time. It was such a blast to see them interact with all their different personalities. It’s been a while since we’ve been able to see Brad and Claire and the kids, so we were both really excited for that, especially since we got to meet their newest addition to the family. (Who is even more adorable in person, just in case you were wondering.)
All around it was a really great holiday and we are both glad we were home for Christmas this year. Thanks to everyone for sharing your time and gifts with us! We are very blessed to have such great family and friends in our lives
