We had a great Christmas break visiting family. We went out to Colorado between December 16-21. We spent some time with my dad and our family in Colorado Springs, then we went on up to spend a few days in Loveland with Hubby's Mom, brother, and grandparents. We had a lot of fun and got so many nice things! We are so thankful to have such a generous family. We came back on the 21st and I worked a couple of days, then we had four days off to celebrate Christmas here in Fort Worth. I was a little disappointed because I've always been with my family over Christmas, but it turned out to be so great! We had a lot of fun just sleeping in, watching movies, carrying--what felt like--a 50 lb. bag of wood from Kroger to our apartment in the snow, opening gifts, making Christmas dinner, making a gingerbread house, going to our Christmas Eve service (showing up too early and waiting for it to start), making-- and EATING-- tiramisu (it turned out awesome!), and just good quality time together. Here's a few moments we captured on our new camera... hope you enjoy!

We got SNOW on Christmas Eve!! This is what was left by Christmas afternoon. 
My first Christmas dinner!! We had turkey, corn casserole, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, and sparkling grape juice! To note: will always use a turkey bag!! I used one this year and even though I've never tried it without, I don't think I will. It was wonderful!
The beautiful, delicious, scrumpdiddilyumpscious tiramisu! A new recipe I tried from my Nestle Tollhouse cookbook. I will be happy to bring this to any event in the future!
Merry Christmas 2009!
