This year, I was actually feeling the Christmas spirit. I feel like it’s our first Christmas together as a married couple/family… but it’s really our second. Last year, we didn’t even give presents to each other. I remember, the day after Christmas last year… we found out we were pregnant with our second baby. That was our present to each other Christmas 2008. 
This year was fun, but financially challenging. We purchased a new vehicle because we needed to. Our minivan broke down, so we bought a new vehicle. We weren’t able to buy gifts for everybody, but that is okay. We were glad that we bought our kids presents early in November.
We hosted a Christmas potluck this year for our close friends. We all had a great time. I love to entertain and eating while having a great conversation with friends. I don’t talk much, but I’m a good listener (at least I like to think so). Our friends, Robyn and Allan, who were in town for the weekend, stayed a bit longer for us and we really appreciate them for doing that.
Here are some photos…
