Christmas
This was a great Christmas, and our first and only as an engaged couple. Thanks to Kelly our apartment was nicely decorated with stockings and wreathes, and we had a nice little tree that we cut down on our own at Jones Tree Farm in Shelton earlier in December, which we filled with a bunch of cool ornaments that had plenty of memories and meaning in them.
The weekend of Christmas we both had an extra day off from work, so there was plenty of time to spend with family and friends. We exchanged gifts on the night of the 23rd since we had parties to attend and a very busy schedule on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Kelly gave me a great new flash for my Canon DSLR along with some super-cool Beatles art for my cubicle along with some clothes and other nic-nacs. I gave her some jewelry, clothes and other small things she could use for her new job. Gracie made out pretty well too – she got some new toys and massive raw-hide bone to chew on. Such a great Christmas!
Oh yeah, did I mention Gracie saw Santa?
