The First Married Christmas

Merry Christmas, y'all!

Can you believe that Christmas has already come and gone again? We had such a good time with our family this year and I'm sad that it's over and that we're back to reality today.

On Christmas Eve, we met up with my family for a late lunch at Twisted Spur before heading off to Christmas Eve service at our church.



Afterwards, we had church #2 on TV at Patrick's grandmother's house while eating a delicious steak dinner. Mmm!

For the first time ever... I did not wake up at my parent's house on Christmas morning. #marriedlife? Patrick and I woke up in our house and did a little Christmas celebrating before going to do Christmas with our families.

I was up at the crack of dawn too because everyone saves their Christmas cookie baking until the very last second, right? Right.



Next up: Christmas with my family & the traditional stair picture.




Guess who's getting hitched one month from today?



These two!

After presents and brunch, we were off to Christmas with Patrick's family at the lake.

It was an afternoon full of present opening, a lot of giggling, too many jokes, Christmas Vacation, excellent food and so much fun. But somehow the only picture that I have of the day is of the Christmas tree and the ham:


It was a really good, home cooked ham but still. Next year I'll do better with the pictures!

& just like that, Christmas 2016 was over :(

It was a great first married Christmas, though! There's also only a 3 day work week to look forward to this week... yay, holiday work schedules!

Anyone else excited for New Year's Eve and, more importantly, Clemson's playoff game on Saturday night. Go Tigers! & happy Tuesday!

  5. I love that you still got the stair picture at your parents house even though you're married! That's so much fun! And I was so mad by how hot it was on Christmas! It was so crazy, and I'm pretty sure that we were bare foot the whole day too!
