Our First Christmas Together!


We ended up spending Christmas with my family, which ended up being a wonderful time with my family and relatives.  Although we began to learn that it is hard adjusting to new "traditions" as a married couple, we both had a very Merry Christmas.  We were able to experience an authentic sleigh ride, lots of snow, wonderful family time, and yummy food.

After spending a week in Ellensburg we finally were able to fly out to California.  We spent about 4 days with Aaron's parents and had our own "Christmas celebration" a few days late.  We loved being in 50 degree sunny weather, and it was great being with his parents once again.

We returned to Ellensburg for a quick New Year's celebration before returning to our cozy apartment in Spokane.  Not only did we return to our cozy apartment, but we also returned to approx. 3 feet of snow, with more to come.  As we spent our first Christmas together as a married couple, we were reminded of the continual blessings that surround us, not only in the blessing of our Lord, but with our incredible families that love and support us.

                                         Our first Christmas together!
