Our first Christmas married was so wonderful! We started it off with a fun Christmas party at our friends (the Sistrunks) home. It was an ugly sweater party but i'm cheap and just bought us matching snoopy shirts instead.
Kyle's brother and his wife invited us to go watch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. It was a great concert, the dancing and singing were wonderful. This was toward the end of the performance when all the decorations were out and it looked beautiful.
We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with the Homolik's. We started with a really yummy Christmas eve dinner. The grandkids then put on a talent show which was adorable and really brought the Christmas spirit. After that Kyle and his brothers competed in a cup stacking competition. Kyle got down to 9 seconds and lost to Neal by like .5 seconds. Christmas day we went to church with Kyle's parents and the ward put on a beautiful musical program.
Chiquita also came to stay with us for the break. This is a picture of her with her new toy that she got in her stocking.
Kyle completely spoiled me for Christmas and got me everything I wanted. This was my favorite gift. The K stands for Kyle (obviously) and the stone is aquamarine, my birthstone.
On the 23rd we had a Christmas party at my parents house with our family. It was great because some of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents were there. We had a dinner and then opened gifts.
