Because of Chris new job he had to work on Christmas. So this was the first year that Chris and I didn't get to go to Hot Springs for Christmas. We decided to try to make some of our own Christmas traditions. We made a gingerbread house! (out of a box, but still) Then we drove around to see Christmas light and went to the Christmas Eve service at our church. Our friends Kevin and Mandy invited me over for Christmas lunch while Chris was working. Later that night Chris mom drove down all the way from Hot Springs to spend Christmas night with us, she brought videos of the Chris family Christmas moring and we ate Ham and opened some presents in a hotel room! It was kinda funny. Then on Friday Chris mom Shirley went and did some day after Christmas shopping before she went home, later that afternoon we had some friends over and had a great time playing games like Apples to Apples, and mafia we just had so much fun. It was good to share time with others who couldn't go to see their families for Christmas either! I guess we are learning it's time to start creating our own family memories!
Chris, you look as excited as a little kid holding the ginderbread house. Giddy would be a good word.
