Our 1st Christmas

We started off our Christmas celebration at the Maughan/Wright party on Christmas eve at the Tabernacle in Wellsville. We had a big turnout and got to spend the evening with lots of family we don't see very often. It was a lot of fun.

Christmas morning we got up and opened our presents to each other before journeying all the way across the backyard to Mom and Dad's house. There we discovered more presents and a enjoyed a delicious breakfast prepared for us by Dad. After breakfast we headed to Salt Lake and meet up with the Willis crew at Kyle's parents where we discovered even more presents and more delicious food. Our families really spoiled us this year and we appreciate it more than words can express.

I made some discoveries on Christmas. I discovered that my brother-in-law Darren shares something in common with my Dad in they apparently both wear bizarre outfits that have no explanation. I also discovered why our house has been overrun with flashlights since Kyle moved in. He and the other boys in the Willis family get some sort of flashlight every year for Christmas. This year they received ball caps with little LED lights in the brim of them and their names embroidered on the back. They look like they could be really handy for camping.

I love the Christmas season and I'm sad to see it end. I love the lights, the decorations, the music, the snow, and especially the feeling of love for each other that is in the air. It doesn't always seem to be as noticeable at other times of the year. Thank you all for your love this past year with the wedding and everything else. It means a lot to know we have friends and family who love and support us. I hope you all had as wonderful of Christmas as we did.
