The next weekend was CHRISTMAS!! It was me and Jerry's first Christmas and it was awesome!
Christmas Eve:
We went over to Rozlyn and Nathan's (my aunt and uncle) house and had a wonderful lunch/dinner. That was when it started to snow!! I couldn't believe it! It was so beautiful. It was really nice spending time with my family. After our lunch/ dinner we drove to Jerry's grandmothers house to visit with Francis (Larry's sister)from Arizona. I really didn't get a chance to talk to Francis at our wedding because we were so busy. It was really nice getting to talk with her. She is so funny! I've come to the conclusion that all Peterson's have fun personalities. When Jerry and I got home we drank some yummy hot chocolate exchanged one gift which were pj's and went to bed.
Christmas Day:
Yay for a White Christmas! Jerry and I got up covered in dogs. Ever since it's gotten cold outside the dogs take it upon themselves to hog our entire bed. I think the dogs take up the majority of the bed and Jerry and I hang on for dear life.
This year Jerry got me musical tickets---THE BEST GIFT EVER!!!! I get to go see Phantom of the Opera February 28,
Rain March 21,
and WICKED June 13!
I can't wait! I love musicals! I got Jerry a new robe, a cool picture of all the tech fans running on to the field when we beat Texas last year, slippers, and a wallet. After we opened presents we went over to Jane's house for brunch. We had a great time eating and hanging out. Jane and Glenn got us the best present ever---an electric blanket--- it is amazing! The dogs love it too! It's so nice to spend time with family!
December 26:
Off to Virgina! The next day we flew out to Virginia to see Larry, Karen, and Walker. We had a great time! We played board games, we got addicted to this new Mario Brother's Wii game- so much fun!, and spent quality time together. I really enjoy going up there! We always have so much fun spending time with family. I think my favorite part about going to Virginia is playing games. I never realized how much I love boardgames! When me and Jerry have kids were going to have lots of family game nights! I also loved going to over to Rusty and Tracy's (Jerry's aunt and uncle). It's always fun hanging out with Sam, Rachael,and Hannah. They are all so sweet. Also, I was shocked when I saw Walker! It's only been like 6 months since I've seen him... he's grown! I could believe it! It was like he just grew up in 6 months. Who knows... next time I see him he'll have a beard!
Oh and I could never forget sweet Sophie! She is the sweetest most fluffy dog! I don't usually like small dogs, but Sophie is the sweetest baby!
December 31:
We got up early and flew back to Texas! Fortunately, there were no delays or issues with security. We got home around 3, picked up our babies from Lauren and Dave's (thank you Lauren and Dave for watching our precious angels!)and took a nap. We got up, got ready, and went out for a New Year's Celebration! We went out to Grapevine and had a blast! I must say, I have the greatest friends! I can't wait to spend many more New Year's with them. Happy 2010!
