Christmas in Virginia

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Matt and I hope that everyone had a great Christmas. Ours was nice we missed everyone but we still were at least fortunate to be able to spend it together. We weren't sure until about a week before Christmas if Matt was going to have to go back to Mississippi but luckily he doesn't have to go back until after the new year. This year it was strange not running back and forth between our families on Christmas, so it defiantly was a new experience for both of us. On Christmas Eve WE cooked a big dinner, which you can see in the picture below. I know what you are thinking Matt and I cooked!?!?! Well it's true and we have the pictures to prove it. :)

After dinner we went to Mass, it was a Childrens' Mass and the children put on a pagent, it was adorable. We then came home and opened a present, Matt wanted to open more but got over it after some whining.
On Christmas Day Matt made us get up at 5:00 am to open presents!! You would think we had children. :) Especially, since he tried to trick me and set the clock a hour ahead so the alarm actually went off at 4! Thank you for everything we recieved we are very grateful to have such great family and friends. We miss all of you and wish we could have spent the holidays with family and friends but hopefully next year. Here's some pictures of our tree and our decorations around the house. Love you all. :)
