Now that the holiday festivities have slowed down, I get the chance to post a little about our first Christmas as a married couple. We got to first spend the 23rd with my family in Fort Worth. We spent time playing with games, looking at Christmas lights, and exchanging gifts with my cousins and relatives.

We then spent Christmas Eve with my parents and went to our Christmas Eve service together at our church in Rowlett. Brett played piano for the service. It was nice to spend our first Christmas Eve away from our hometown with my parents there. After dinner, we said goodbye to my parents and went home (our home) to spend our first Christmas together, just the two of us. We kept up family traditions by watching "It's a Wonderful Life", made chocolate covered pretzels, and camped out in the living room watching "A Christmas Story" all night. Come 7 AM, we were wide awake ready for Christmas morning to begin. I made biscuits and gravy (and hope to make that a tradition every Christmas morning), and Brett and I exchanged our gifts with each other. AND of course we had to take our Christmas PJ picture in front of our tree.
After exchanging gifts, we made the trip back to East Texas to see Brett's family. We were utterly blessed by everyone we encountered, and I feel so blessed to of had such a wonderful first Christmas. I hope you, too, had a blessed holiday season. Merry Christmas!
