Old-fashioned country Christmas

Hello everyone! I know I should be fired from the blog world for my month long absence, but I really will try to do better. I'll just use my pregnant status as the reason for my forgetfulness.

So, our second Christmas as a married couple was wonderful! We spent the holiday with James' family at their beautiful lake house in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. It was so quiet and isolated... just what the doctor ordered. We got to visit all of James' immediate family in addition to his lovable Grandmama, aunt, uncle and their 3 kids. It was a weekend full of good food, Christmas movies, snow angels, lots of games and even more laughs. I even played my first game of Shuffleboard... which James & I won! Ah, good times! It was fun to chat with the family and reminisce about James' mom. We certainly missed her this Christmas, but it was good to talk about her with family.

Our New Year's celebration was pretty low-key, but still fun. We spent the evening with our good friends Jasen & Reggie Chandler here in Cedar City. We hung out at their house, watched movies and ate lots of junk food! Ah, the joy of holiday binges! :) We rang in the New Year with good friends and a good kiss! It was the perfect start to an exciting upcoming year for us.

We hope you all had a great holiday season and were able to spend it with good friends and family too. We love you all!

That's crazy! I try not to think about the possibility of pre-term labor, but it is does make me feel better when I see how you two turned out. :)
