First Married Christmas


So Brian and I celebrated our first Christmas as a married couple. We started our first tradition on Christmas Eve morning by waking up, making pancakes, and watching a Christmas movie. This year I got to pick so we watched Home Alone. So much fun!
This Christmas we spent with Brian's family and will continue to alternate in the years to come. My family was in Dallas this year though because my sister is due to have Tanner any day now and she cant travel. This year my family decided to adopt a family through Kali and Lance's church instead of exchanging gifts. We delivered all kinds of goodies and gifts to their house on Christmas Eve. It was fun listening to their stories of where they are from (Tanzania) and their experiences in Texas. 




We spent the rest of Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with Brian's family. We had breakfast for dinner, read the Christmas story, sang songs, and watched It's A Wonderful Life. We had so much fun opening gifts together and watching Jackson experience Christmas for the first time. 






We love baby Jackson!!!!


Brian got a shotgun and a Stephen McGee Cowboys jersey.



After all of the gifts were opened and lunch was eaten, we headed over to my grandfathers to see my family for a few hours. My uncle bought these remote controlled helicopters and gave everyone their own. It was a huge hit! Brian still chases me around our apartment with that helicopter! Thanks a lot Mark!





We finished up the weekend with dinner at Mi Cocina with Charles, Jordie, Whitney, and Travis. We had a blast!! Cant wait to spend New Years with you guys. I hope we have just as much fun at the ranch as we did at dinner. haha

I couldnt have imagined a better first Christmas with my husband. I hope everyone else made as many fun memories as we did!
