I haven't really posted in a long while. But I am going to try to be more committed to posting this new year. I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I know I had one of the, if not the best, ever!! So we are in the new house, and I got to pick out the real tree. Just like they did on the Christmas story! I even came home one day from work to find Jake had put Christmas lights on the house! LOVE HIM!
Our house became a center point for Christmas celebrations. On the 23rd, I cooked a massive dinner ( ham, dressing, greenbean casserole, sweet potato casserole, rolls, and carrot cake, well jake made the carrot cake) for jake's brothers and Melissa. It was nice just hanging out. I had to work on Christmas Eve, which has horrible. Let's just say my day involved calling the police on a patient. Yay!.... I came home exhausted to find my wonderful family waiting on me! Jake had cooked Christmas food and even made peppermint bark. The family Christmas theme was tacky sweaters! The picks are great, my dad's sweater even had a built in turtle neck. After we gave our neices and nephew their presents, we headed to the movies. Our family tradition is going to see a movie on Christmas eve night. We couldn't go until 10 pm, since I had to work.
We sat through Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, but the kids and my mom liked it. Then, we went on our seperate ways. We got home at like 1 am. Jake and I decided we were going to give each other one gift which turned into opening all our gifts by 1:30!! So Jake played with his PS3 and I played with my iphone until 3 am.
On christmas morning, we went to my parents for lunch. That night Jake's mom side came over for dinner. We ended eating Chinese, since Christmas food was getting kind of old!
We had a great Christmas, and are looking forward to a wonderfule new year! 2010 should be a wonderful year. Two of my best friends are getting married. I hopefully should be starting school to be a nurse practioner. Jake and I are planning to go on a big trip in the fall! We have list of things we must do before babies come!! I just can't wait to see what we check off this year!
