Our stockings are hung, and presents are wrapped. We even had some snow this week to get us in the mood. We are so thankful and blessed to have had such a wonderful year and we are excited to spend our first Christmas together.
We've been very busy leading up to Christmas. Here's what we've been up to:
Tom's Christmas party was last weekend at the Marriott hotel in Briar Cliff. A group of our friends took a limo and we had a blast! Tradebot gave all the employees mini iPad's and Tom and I have already used it a lot.
The next night we went to a concert at the Midland. It was an amazing concert with one of my faves, Of Monsters and Men. Tom and I were beat that Sunday!
We went down to El Dorado to see my grandma, dad, Emily, and Tristan on Saturday. It was a fun day and we got some very nice gifts to take back with us to Kansas City! - including a new bread bowl from the bread master himself. (Thanks guys!!)
We made Christmas candy to take around to our neighbors and had a delicious holiday meal with our neighbors Doug and Tish.
We went ice skating with Katherine and her boyfriend at Crown Center. All of the lights down there are amazing. I remember always going to this rink when I was little with our dad.
Tom and I are delivering meals to families through the Salvation Army on Christmas Day. They assign you five houses, and we figured it would be a good opportunity since we are both in Kansas City on Christmas. Other than that we plan to sleep in, enjoy biscuits and sausage gravy (from the Local Pig), open presents, go to the movies, and relax.
We have the best friends and family and loved receiving everyone's Christmas cards! It's on my to-do list to find a clever way to display them next year. Ideas?!
We leave the day after Christmas for Nashville to spend time with the best family. Ever. I think there are 20 of us going this year! Can't wait for lots of laughter, good eats and country dancing! Yeahaaawww! (Photos and stories to follow!)
Merry Christmas to all!
