Christmas

Well well well... Hello (un)Faithful readers! Daaaaavid here. Just with an update!

The holidays have come and gone. Kind fo amazing how quickly they happened. Time and time again throughout december, Shawna kept saying "Christmas has such a build-up then poof it's gone!" And she was right. There was an incredible build to Christmas. Gifts. Decorating. Music. Eggnog. Then... AH! It's all gone by!

Regardless, the Christmas season started with a visit by my mom in early December. She was only here for a week, but it was really fun. We did lots of stuff. We went to the aquarium, watched Shawna's first 5k race and ate mongolian food! All in all a really good time!

But now it's done! She had a great time, and I am thankful for that. After that, it just became a matter of getting ready for Christmas. It was our first Christmas away from home. As much as we love and miss our respective families, it was nice to not have to run around and just spend it as the two of us. Hopefully the first of many together! It was a nice quiet Christmas. We went out and bought a little christmas tree. The idea is, when we take the decorations off, we can put it on the balcony and use it again next year. Hopefully the tree will survive and grow with us! :)

All in all a good Christmas. Shawna gota pompom sens hat and a gameboy color! And she knit me a scarf! Which Rocks. We had Christmas dinner with her cousin's family which was a blast. We are so blessed to have a family take us in like that!

So to summarize... Christmas 2009 FTW!
