Merry Christmas from Our Home to Yours

Christmas morning was so special to us this year. It was obviously our second Christmas married, but it was our first Christmas spent in our new home!

It was a day that we had looked forward to for a long time! Some of us...ahem....John. were so excited that he thought it would be great to wake up at 12:00 midnight. Not me! So, when he decided to wake me up with the energy of a 5 year old, I told him a few more minutes! We both woke up again at 3:00 and decided to get up, simply because we couldn't wait any longer! Told you we love Christmas! We woke up to a note to me from "Santa" pretty much thanking me for being a good wife this year but to have fresh cookies next year! Apparently, I broke Santa's tooth this Christmas Eve due to the stale cookies we left for him! Sorry folks, but I'm not giving up the good ones! I got a kick out of this! The dogs were filled with the Christmas spirit too! It was probably just us being, well, "us" but we're pretty sure Heidi and Harley were excited about Christmas too! We let them open their presents first. We wrapped them in tissue paper, to see if they would actually try to get into them. They loved it, and it was hilarious seeing them open their presents and be so excited about them! We enjoyed taking our time opening presents while sipping on coffee and munching on some of our traditional Christmas breakfast. John loved all of his fun stuff that Mrs. Claus brought him, and I was extremely surprised to see what Mr. Claus brought me! It's amazing how much we've been through this past year. We are so thankful for how God has been such a large part of our lives. All glory to Him! We are excited to see what God has in store for us this next year! Merry Christmas!
