This Christmas was our first Christmas as a married couple.
Timmons finally got that gun he'd been wanting (along with bullets, a holster and a concealed weapons permit), and I got a purse and a beautiful kitchen aid- I've already made some treats with it.
I was very impressed with Andrew. He picked out an awesome purse. Mine had a broken zipper, so he got one for me that matched my favorite pair of boots.
Look how cute he is...opening his gun and stuff. :)
I was lucky enough to have the day off, so we spent Christmas Eve night at the Timmons' home decorating Gingerbread Cookies and playing games.
Below are the before and after version of our cookie. The lil guy even has a monocle. He has also got his party pants on.
The one on the left was decorated by Rachel and Seth, and the one to the right of ours is by Kody and Lauren. Yea...ours is the coolest...just sayin. ;)
On Christmas morning, we exchanged stockings that we made for each other. Christmas day was spent relaxing, visiting family and playing games. My mom and sister got us a new headbanz game. You have to ask questions to guess what is on your forehead. It's probably the best game ever. So many people were playing at one point that we had to split into two groups to play, and there weren't enough headbanz to go around.
Of course, one of the very best parts of the holiday was reading the story of Jesus's birth, and then later hearing Andrew's Papa's testimony of the gospel.
The holiday season always puts things in perspective. It's a fantastic time to remind ourselves that God, family and friends are truly the most important things.
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
