Doug and I celebrated our first Christmas as husband and wife. It was a lot of fun this year to trim our tree and decorate! I've had a bunch of Christmas stuff in storage for years and it was great to finally be able to use it! We got out Christmas tree from Beth... and it is great! We were able to put up some new ornaments and tons of ornaments from when I was little! Yep... even baby's first Christmas from 1977 is up on the tree! We have a fireplace, so stockings were hung by the chimney with care! We bought an angel for our tree topper and we both love it! Once our new home was set for Christmas, we were ready! We started off the holiday week celebrating with his side of the family. We opened presents and had dinner. It was great to see everyone, including his sisters, who had flown to Indiana for Christmas. Celebrating with my mom and dad followed. They arrived safe and sound from Ohio for Christmas Eve. We went to a beautiful and very full mass and back to our home for presents and dinner. Doug and I were suppose to head to Florida for our delayed honeymoon on Christmas day. However, due to weather and cancelled flights, we stayed home bound. While were we disappointed, we were able to have a very peaceful Christmas at home, which was nice. My parents headed back to Ohio and we headed out to the China Buffet. That's one thing we did on Christmas that I hope will NOT be a Christmas tradition! We continued the weekend watching movies, trying to use all our new wedding gadgets and watching the snow fall. Not bad, not bad at all! Merry Christmas everyone!
