Our First Christmas Together

Sorry it has taken me so long to get pics up from Christmas, but I've been working so much I don't have much time for anything other than sleeping and eating... Brandon and I had such a wonderful Christmas together! We were very sad to be away from our family and friends during the holidays but we sure enjoyed a little R & R. The lazy, quiet days were much needed after hardly seeing each other for a month while Brandon studied for finals.

Brandon and I started a new tradition of drinking yummy Christmas peppermint drinks and watching "A Christmas Story" on Christmas Eve.

Our little tree (below) was quite pathetic but it made our pile of presents look even more impressive. I think we'll upgrade to a big tree next year :-) Brandon made us a BIG delicious breakfast Christmas morning. His Grandma Jan sent us our stylin' aprons. Thanks Grammy Jannie!

We walked downtown and got coffee at Starby's then went to the movies all day. I was very warm in my fleece and scarf (it was sunny & 65) but I really wanted to look wintery...it definitely didn't feel like Christmas outside.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their loved ones. It was different not being home but we really enjoyed our time together. Thank you for all the cards and Holiday wishes!!!
