I look forward to Christmas every year. Not so much the commercial aspect, though I do enjoy my fair share of movies and gifts, but there is so much more to look forward to! Every year I look forward to spending time with my family- decorating the house and the silly pranks and jokes that go around. And then of course there is the snow and the food... who doesn't appreciate those?
This year is a little different for me. Why? Well, I married my very best friend in October this year, when our wedding was moved up from June next year. This has been the first time we have been able to spend the holidays together. We spent Thanksgiving with his family, and are spending Christmas with my family. This time around, Christmas holds a lot more for us! We each have a new set of family- parents, aunts, uncles, even siblings. Also, our very own little one is expected very soon! Her official due date is the 27th (six more days!), but according to the doctor this afternoon she will probably not be waiting that long.
With amazing gifts like this- our new family- what else could we possibly wish for?
Looking back through my posts- this one was written a mere 2 days before Quinn arrived!
