A “just us” Christmas
Matt and I celebrated a “just us” Christmas this year. NBC called for Matt’s service on Christmas eve and Christmas day so, needless to say we where home for the holiday. On Christmas eve we attended a late service at FUMC Grapevine. The service was beautiful and really helped it feel like Christmas. I had flashbacks of so many candlelight services as a child and adult, I was glad we attend one with Dean on his first Christmas. After the service we returned home to finish wrapping gifts and stuffing stockings…some how things were very last minute this year!
We enjoyed a VERY relaxed Christmas day. For the first Christmas EVER I stayed in my PJs all day long! We woke before Matt had to go to work and opened few presents. Thankfully Matt was able to come home from work early and we were able to enjoy an early Christmas dinner followed by gifts. We skyped with my parents and opened all the gits they sent back with us. I’m so thankful for such amazing technology, it was nice to be able to share the gift opening with them.
It was a wonderful Christmas holiday. Next year we plan to be home for the holiday but I’m sure a “just us” Christmas will be in our future again.

It’s obvious that your little family had a memorable first Christmas “Home Alone”! Lindsey, your lazagna looks yummy! I love the picture of your snuggled boys – they’re both so sweet when they’re sleeping!
