Christmas

Christmas was just the two of us this year. It's hard not being around family for the holidays, but we knew this was how it was going to be, living in Memphis.

When me boss heard that we were going to be alone for Christmas, he invited us to be with his family Christmas Eve. He is the youngest of 12 kids, so it was a little overwhelming to say the least. We ate spaghetti and played Dirty Santa. It was a little weird, but we had a lot of fun, and were so grateful that he thought of us this season. It was nice to be around people.

Christmas Morning! I'm still like a little kid. I jump on Daniel, begging him to wake up so we can open presents.

Both of our families have the tradition of making pizza Christmas Eve. Why drop a perfectly good tradition? But since we were with my bosses family Christmas Eve, we decided to make it Christmas Day instead.

I never would have guessed that we would have snow on Christmas - in Tennessee. It started flurrying Christmas afternoon, and by the next day, we had about 1/2 an inch. Not very much, but still nice to have a little snow on Christmas.

I'm so glad you got to go somewhere for Christmas Eve! I know what you mean about expecting to do the Holidays without all your families since we live so far away, but it's still so weird to me to have such quiet evenings on the holidays! I never mind for Christmas morning though, I kind of like it just our little family.

Hope you guys are well, we miss being close to you guys!
