Oh Christmas Tree

It feels like last week was the LONGEST week ever.  We had an amazing weekend, lots of family, friends, and drinking.  We both took Friday off and decided to treat ourselves to a day of whatever we wanted.  We decided to go ice skating at  Rosa Parks Circle, soooo much fun!  It was a dollar for each of us.  Cheap fun entertainment

Christmas Eve we went to Aaron's mom's house.  Santa was very good to us.  We got lots of goodies, and had a wonderful time with family.  Aaron's step sister once made a comment about me never wearing matching socks...(I just grab 2 and go, matching something no one sees is silly to me)  so she got me an entire set of really cute miss matched socks for a store called little miss matched...probably one of my favorite gifts!!!

Sunday was a huge busy day for us.  We over slept...luckily we have 2 cats that HAVE to eat at 8:00 on the dot or they think they are going to DIE.  So we got a late start but still made it to Battle Creek on time.  We did breakfast with my mom and sister.  We exchanged awesome gifts.  GPS, really nice mixing bowls, a new toaster oven, and some really cool art work. 

We headed to dads and got spoiled there too.  We got everything else we could possibly need for our kitchen.  Awesome salt and pepper shakers, pans, and tins, and wine glasses.  We basically have everything for our kitchen and only have to register for a few things. 

Finally we ended the night with the big Sopko (mom's side) Christmas.  There was lots of family, screaming, yelling, laughing, drinking, and more presents.  We had a wonderful time. 

Things started to get a little crazy near the end of the night!

 

Monday we hosted the Monzo Christmas.  We made breakfast and exchanged gifts with the siblings.  Overall we had a WONDERFUL Christmas with family and friends.  It was a great first Christmas together, and we're looking forward to many many more. 

Ice Skating downtown, a new tradition we're starting.

Our first Christmas tree. 

Our cats HATE us.  They were so embarrassed.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and felt as blessed as I do this year!  MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!  (Think of Charlie Brown Christmas, when you read that last part..that's how I said it in my head.)
