Christmas was so wonderful this year. I love this time of year we get some much needed time spent with our families and friends. What would the season be without them? I have to say that we are extremely blessed to live close to both of our parents so that we are able to spend time with both sides on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
As with every year we were extremely spoiled. We have three Christmas mornings. One with just us, Justin's family, and then with my family.
We are just too excited to wait to open our presents. I love taking the before and after pictures of our Christmas. We seem to spoil each other when it comes to Christmas! Who knows this could be our last Christmas to spoil just each other :)
This year I made sure that Justin was stocked up on the basic needed clothing. Since Law School is coming to an end I he was in desperate need of some dress shirts. This coming year I think that he will be living in them!
Justin as always surprised me with some wonderful gifts. My big surprise this year was a Kindle. Now before Christmas morning I had never seen one or known exactly what it was. Well, now it is mine. I love to read and so here is my new avenue.
Let the reading begin!!!
After the wrappings come off we need to show off our loot!
The thing that I hate the most is when all the presents have been opened :(
Merry Christmas Baby!!!
The best present given this year was to Justin from his brothers. Ever since he started Law School he has been playing Ping Pong with the other Law School peeps. He comes home all the time telling me how fun it is and how it helps them to take their mind off of school for a little bit. Seriously ping pong is really the only aspect of Law School that I know a lot about :) His brothers talked my brother into letting them buy his ping pong table that has been sitting in his garage for two years. Now we have tried to buy this table from him for a year and he would not give it up. I guess he didn't want our money! Justin was so surprised. The only sad thing is I did not get a picture of him and his table.
His championship paddle! And of course the game face that he needs to win!
I am so good at taking pictures of just us opening presents but when it comes to getting together with the rest of our family I always seem to forget. I am going to have to remember to snap away.
The loot from my mom's house.
We are so blessed to have the wonderful family that we do. Thanks to all for making this Christmas one to remember. Here is to the new year! We are so excited for what is to come in our lives. Who knows maybe next Christmas we will have a bundle of joy that we get to unwrap!
