Our first Christmas

Technically this is not our "first" Christmas... but it is our first Christmas as husband and wife! We could not wait to get home after we bought our first real tree and to put all the ornaments and doo-dads on it! We spent way too much on ornaments at Hobby Lobby (Whitney's favorite store)! We moved our furniture around and put our big tree up in our tiny little living room. We stranded the lights... not just any lights but the pretty, old timey lights with big bulbs... it was gorgeous for about 3 minutes until the the power went off on one end of the house! Shad fixed it all and I have to say it's the prettiest tree ever! We have gorgeous ornaments and we can't wait to add to it every year. A tradition we're starting this year is to watch Christmas Vacation as many times as we can stand it. It never gets old to us! We are so excited to be having our first Christmas together as husband and wife. This time last year we were anticipating an engagement... we are so happy to be together! We look so forward to this time of year and we love to reflect on what this time of year means to us... it's not about the presents (although they are very fun to give and get!).... it's about our Lord Savior Jesus Christ and the celebration of his birth. We wish you all MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
