Our First Christmas Home!

Nate and I had our first Christmas together at our house. We both woke up early, got ready, and went in the living room to open our presents. We were so excited that we forgot to take pictures of our first Christmas at home together. Oh well, maybe next year! It was fun watching each other open the presents that we had put so much thought into. My favorites were the goodies in the stockings. Nate spoiled me. He is so wonderful!

After we opened our presents we went over to my parent's house and spent some time with my family. It was so nice being able to spend time together. Grandma came over and it is always hilarious watching her open presents. She makes the cutest sounds. Here are some pictures of our time together.

Jaime is going to be the next woman pro golfer so my parent's had to get her her very own putting green. I have to say, she is pretty good. Nate better watch out this summer. I think Jaime is going to give him a run for his money out on the greens!

Chad loves to spend time out doors hunting. Grandma got him a hard case for his bow and arrow. He just had to start to put everything together right away. He was just like that as a little kid too!

My mom and dad got me the cutest finger puppets for my classroom. I know as soon as I bring them to school the kids will want to play with them. I thought I would keep them home for awhile and read stories to Nate. I think he would like that!
Boys and their toys! Believe it or not, besides tech toys, Nate loves manly things for the house. My parents got him a wet/dry vac. He was pretty excited! I know he can't wait to use it!

This Christmas was also special because we got to go to Nebraska to visit Nate's side of the family. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were so nice to let us ride with them out to Nebraska after we had Christmas with them at our house. While we were at Craig and Anissa's house, Graham showed us how he blows his nose. How cute that was! He grabbed a kleenex and blew. He smiled after he did it. I've never laughed so hard.

Here are a few more of Graham and his Uncle Nate. They were so cute together. There's even a picture of Nate and me doing dishes together. What a sweet husband!

This was a wonderful Christmas! Nate and I are so blessed to have wonderful friends and family around us at special times during the year. We can't wait for the many Christmas celebrations to come!
