Our First Christmas

This was our first Christmas weekend together, and Jeremy showed me the magic of anticipating Christmas. I was a grownup, experiencing what I missed out on as a kid because we opened our presents on Christmas Eve. We never had to wait for Santa, we never filled each other’s stockings in the middle of the night, we never exchanged pajamas and slept in them before… It was all so new to me.

For our date night, we played a new game called Monopoly Deal with the family (it was a hit with Teancum). We were sort of relieved that it was just the family, because in truth I didn’t want to meet his mother’s boyfriend. We spent the night, and then the family met up with Grant to watch Sherlock Holmes in the movie theaters, where we ran into Bishop Gleim!
