Christmas 2011

What a wonderful holiday Christmas turned out to be! Joe and I were able to spend lots of time with the people we love and the celebrations kept on coming! The entire holiday consisted of Pre-Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve, Christmas1, and then Christmas2...


We began our Christmas festivities with Pre-Christmas Eve! This was our time to celebrate the holiday with my dad and Kurstin! They to us to Carefree Station in Carefree, Arizona. The place was AMAZING!! Wonderful food, atmosphere, and service. We had a great time chatting and exchanging gifts. Christmas was off to a good start!




The next day was Christmas Eve. Joe and I went to my mom and David's house around 4:30pm. The evening was spent eating Red Devil (amazing BBQ chicken pizza), opening our Christmas PJs, decorating cookies, and sitting outside by the firepit. 







The next day was Christmas1! Joe, Cody, and I headed to my mom's house around 8:00. We spend some time making a delicious breakfast and then it was time to open presents! My mom always goes OVERBOARD when it comes to Christmas... and this year was no different! We had so many gifts to open and spent the entire morning doing so.




Joe got a NEW guitar from SANTA!!


Christmas1 was magical. Thank you mom and David for all the hard work you put into such a special day!

Then we were off to Christmas2! On Christmas night, Meghan Lee came into town! Meghan is Mitch's awesome room-mate in Ohio. She has tons of energy and is great to have around. Since Meghan was here we decided to have another Christmas morning on Monday! It was so nice to extend the holiday :)

After Christmas2 we went to As You Wish to paint some pottery! It was so nice to sit with the entire family and paint. I won the award for most creative :)



In all, Christmas 2011 was amazing! I am so grateful to have such a wonderful family and loving husband. I am looking forward to seeing what 2012 has in store for us!
