Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! Justin and I had a great Christmas together. It was our first Christmas being married! We spent time with my family because his parents were visiting his sister and her family. We enjoyed spending time with them. Justin got to experience some of my favorite traditions that my family has this time of year like going to Grandma's house for waffles, and then visiting my other Grandma and spending time with my cousins and seeing what my Grandma made this year for the grand kids :) Last but not least favorite tradition on Christmas is eating ham and funeral potatoes for dinner! Yum! Christmas Eve we always go out to dinner so that was a lot of fun. I hope to keep some of these traditions while including Justin's family traditions which I have yet to really experience. Next year is the year for his family traditions. We loved what we got for Christmas. We only opened one gift on Christmas and that was from my Grandma everything else was opened early but that's alright we enjoyed the moments that we opened them in. We were surrounded by family when we opened them and enjoyed the company.

In other news... today must have been the longest day for me. Leaving work early on Christmas Eve and having Christmas off just messed with my work schedule. Left work at 3 on Wednesday, had Thursday off then having to work until 6 on Friday is not a good mix especially after shoveling a foot and a half of snow on Thursday and having an aching back. (We really need to get Justin's parents some new snow shovels (: the metal one isn't working out that well :P )

Justin and I found out that my uncle knows a game that I only thought his family knew. It was funny 'cause when we were at my Grandma's for breakfast he brought in the game board and I was like I know that game. It was crazy. So we ended up showing him our game board because his was huge and we played a few games. It was awesome! We will have to get together some more and play it!
