Rewind: Christmas 2012

I absolutely hate the feeling of not being caught up on my blog right now.  So many fun and big events happened in the last 2 weeks and I want to make sure I document them, if not for your reading then for my own documentation. This blog has become a major extension of my calendar that I keep in my purse.  I put upcoming appointments, dates with friends, and other upcoming events in my phone but in my purse calendar I write down what I do every day/night.  It sounds nuts but I've been doing it since high school and I don't think I can stop now.  It actually has come in handy when we can't remember what the great new restaurant was called that we tried and I'm able to pull out my handy calendar to see what I wrote down.  Boom! With that being said, Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday and I'd kick myself if I never documented it, even if it is weeks later:)

We had Christmas Eve brunch with Kyle's family and it was the perfect day.  We left mid afternoon to go to church and it was amazing.  We didn't have huge plans for the evening besides making dinner, opening the gifts we got each other, and having some Bailey's on the rocks...Check out one of the gifts Kyle got for me...some people may call it nerdy but I love the idea of collecting these over the years and being able to share with my future bambinos the story behind each one.

The PERFECT one to start with, a wine and spirits store.  What can I say, we're young, don't have children yet and like to enjoy a glass of wine every night once in awhile.

On Christmas Day we went to my parent's house.  We ate too much, drank peppermint martinis, opened gifts, and played my mom's new Wii

Some of our nephews and our one niece on Christmas

                                      
I'm now realizing I'm a terrible daughter and sister.  No Christmas pics of my parents or siblings.  Swear I love yas!  Goal #1 of 2013: Carry my actual camera with me more often and stop using iPhone camera.

Up Next...My Surprise Birthday Party!
