some good ol' Christmas times {and new years}

We had a wonderful Christmas. We, as in Chris, Avery, and I, spent Christmas Eve night with my parents and sister. Mom cooked her yummy lasagna and layered salad! Delish! We watched Christmas Vacation, laughed at cousin Eddie, and enjoyed the fellowship. Santa came down the chimney and left Avery tons of goodies in which he was overjoyed to discover Christmas morning. Mom and Dad made our traditional Christmas breakfast and we all stuffed our faces once again. After breakfast, we opened gifts and oooed and ahhhed over the lovely gifts that we had gotten. Chris had to go get Trevor, so we wrapped up the party at my parents house and headed out. Christmas night we spent at Chris's parents house. We watched in delight as the children opened gifts and the excitement on their faces warmed our hearts. We once again ate more yummy food and enjoyed visiting everyone. Monday morning we drove to meet Avery's dad and dropped off my little buddy.

New Years was laid back. Chris, Trevor, and I relaxed at home, made some yummy appetizers to munch on, and brought in the new year with a toast, a kiss, and some confetti. I am so glad to begin this new year and look forward to what it has to offer.
