It's over already?!

Christmas seems to fly by these days.  It's almost a month of anticipation, then it gets here, and it just seems to fly right by...  This Christmas was wonderful!  It's our only engaged Christmas and we fully enjoyed the time with our family and friends.

John and I cheat pretty much every year and exchanged presents Christmas Eve, before church hehe :)  It's really the only time we have together just us before the mad dash around Central Florida begins!  He got me a waterproof camera I've been wanting, specifically for our honeymoon...and a really cool watch.  He's working on introducing me into the world of the watch wearers.  I have never worn one consistently, so he got me one with lots of fun things going on in hopes that it sticks.

We went over to John's parents to spend some time with them before Christmas Eve service and then headed to church.  This was the first Christmas Eve service I can remember where they didn't read from Luke, so I was a little disappointed with no official Christmas story from the bible, but we did still get to celebrate Jesus, so I guess it worked out :)  Following church, we ran down to my aunt's house for dinner.  Here are my little cousins with their pillow pets we bought them...squealing ensued for the rest of the evening over them, so I guess they were a hit!

We went back to John's after dinner where he set up his present and proceeded to play early into Christmas morning.  He did a lot of napping Christmas day!

Christmas morning we went to my parents for presents and breakfast.  They have a nice little family shot of John, Lily and I that I'll post later, plus a full family shot.  Greatest picture of the day goes to my mom...
...after finding out her and my dad were going on a trip haha.

We spent the rest of the day at John's grandparents spending time with his family.  After we got home, Lily got a special present that I have to share :)

 Grown men putting a pink Snuggie on a ShihTzu...funny!
 She's smiling, I think she likes it...
Thanks Jason & Ashley :)

We finished our Christmas watching:
Despicable Me!! Ho, Ho, Ho!
