Decemeber - Christmas Day

For Christmas, Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Debbie, Cousin Shannon and her daughter came to visit.  I haven't seen Shannon in years, and never meet her daughter before hand.  It was great to be able to meet more of the family and to spend more time with part of the family that I don't get to see very often.

Jon and I had our own small Christmas at home before we headed over to Mom's house for presents and food.  It was nice to start our own little Christmas traditions and to start figuring out how and when we wanted to do things like open presents, visit family, have Christmas dinner, etc.  And to be able to bring together both our families traditions into ours.

Afterwards we went over to Moms.  Christmas morning was eventful but settled down.  We also celebrated my grandmother's birthday so she did not feel that her birthday was overlooked.  One of the best parts was the excitement she had with her gifts.
