Christmas Festivities

We have done a lot to celebrate Christmas this year:

1) We got our house festive. We bought a big tree and some decorations. It may take me several years to accumulate neat ornaments though. :(

2) We kept the Horsley family tradition alive, and walked around the Festival of Trees.

3) We attended some holiday parties and got some great white elephant gifts.

4) We've been watching Christmas movies at home and seen them in theaters. We went to see A Christmas Carol in 3D. I of course thought it was scary, Matt loved it. We had fun with our 3D glasses.

5) I saw the Nutcracker with my sisters and nieces. I LOVED it (as I always do), and will try to attend every year.

6) Most importantly, we've gotten to reunite with family we haven't seen/talked to in a while. Yesterday we talked to Matt's brother Kevin, who is on a mission. We skyped with him, so it was like we were face to face (very cool!!). We have also been so excited to spend time with Mads, Wy Wy, and Steph.

As you can tell, we've really enjoyed being done with school, and are trying to soak up every second of Christmas break. I'm so excited for Matt to open his presents on Christmas. I think I did good this year folks. More updates to come and Merry Christmas. :)
