Christmas 2011!

So this year, we are in Texas for Christmas. It is also the first year we have spent Christmas away from both of our families. It was hard for me to think about having Christmas Eve dinner and games and Christmas morning without being around family but eventually I got used to the idea. Once I had accepted that we would be staying here for the holiday, I started making our own plans and getting really excited. We made a big Christmas Eve dinner of Greg's delicious Enchiladas and had the Fox's over for dinner and games. Earlier that day we made a bunch of extras and took them over to the Byers. Lauren and Steve just had a baby boy, Nicholas Steven Byers(Cole for short) and we finally got to see him! ADORABLE! He is one of the sweetest most laid back baby ever. So sweet. So we had and awesome Christmas eve.

Greg and I were as excited as kids going to bed that night. When we got up, Greg made me stay put while he got the camera all ready and had to film the whole thing. Goof. Love him for it. Exactly what my mom makes us do every year. Then we took our time opening gifts. We had Christmas music playing in the background and just laughed as we opened gifts and really enjoyed our first Christmas just the two of us. Later after some of the excitement wore off, we(well...me) started cooking up a storm for Christmas dinner. That night we loaded everything up and went to the Fox's for dinner. Sutton made a ham that rocked and all the trimmings and goodies in between. When we couldn't eat another bite, we settled around the living room and played one of the funniest and most entertaining games on the Wii ever. Ha. So should have got pics of us laughing so hard. So all in all our Christmas turned out perfect shared with each other and some great friends!
