Christmas!!

Our first Christmas together was quiet but great! We woke up and opened presents... actually, I had to wake up Mikel because he doesn't quite understand the urgency of opening presents on Christmas morning. We both got great presents from each other and our parents-- we got clothes, a great new camera, a fun game, and lots of DVDs to watch!

After that, we went over to Brett and Megan's house for a great dinner. We are lucky to have friends in the area that don't mind letting us crash on their holidays!
We got to see the cool presents their kids got from Santa, have a great dinner and spend good time with friends. After that, Brett and Megan took their kids to a movie and we went home to play with our presents and take pictures with our new camera. We didn't have much to take pictures of (it was too cold to go outside) so we just took pictures of ourselves.
We missed our family and friends but finally got to spend a Christmas together! It was my first white Christmas and it was wonderful.

Since then we've had lots of time to relax and hang out together which has been great. Mikel has been working and I've been... relaxing!
