Holidays 2009

We spent Thanksgiving with my family again this year. We were supposed to spend it with Sol's family, but they ended up going to Kansas and I had to work the day after Thanksgiving so we couldn't go. We went with my family to my grandparents house which has been tradition for as long as I can remember, though it looks like this may be the last year we'll be doing this since my Mom's family is getting so big. We had a blast eating to our hearts content and hanging with the fam.

Christmas was pretty great too. I had to work on Christmas Eve but it was only half a day so it wasn't bad. We spent Christmas Eve with Sol's family. I can't exactly remember what we did, but I know at some point we watched A Christmas Story which is a tradition in both of our families. Christmas morning Sol's little brother Sam and little sister Hannah woke us up at about 7, which wasn't too early thankfully. We went upstairs and opened presents and we got some pretty good stuff.

I got Sol these two books which he picked out himself and he got me an Ipod touch. (As you can see I am the picture taker so there aren't many of me in here, not that I'm complaining).


This is the stuff we got from Sol's parents:


They were so generous and we couldn't be happier with what we got.

After opening presents we had a delicious breakfast of buscuits and gravy, which is Sol's favorite. Then later that afternoon we headed to my parents house to open gifts before heading to the grandparents.



We got some great stuff from my parents, but I have to say my favorite thing I got was a photo album my mom made for my siblings and I. It is an album of all the vacations we took growing up. It is so great to have something to show all of those memories. Thanks Mom and Dad!!

Overall Christmas was great and we had a blast. We got so many great things and we are so glad we got to spend the Holiday's with both of our families.
