After arriving at the Grand Rapids airport around 11:30pm on the 30th, we got up the next morning and drove ourselves and the puppy up to my mom's house in Lakeview to do another Christmas celebration w/my mom, Jen and Justin, grandparents, and aunt and cousins. It was great to see them all! Christmas on New Year's Eve was a new experience, but we had a really great time. Jen and Justin's two cats were there, which was an interesting dynamic w/the dog...poor Mara is probably still recovering...
We did stay up until midnight to watch the ball drop and usher in a new year, but that's about it! We were all in bed by about 12:15am. Lol. Some party animals we are, eh?!
Here are just a few pictures.
Gotta have a good sister picture now and then! I have to stop leaning in these, though. Jen's already taller than me, and I just exacerbate the problem when I do that...I swear, I'm not a shrimp.
Jen and Justin toasting 2008- and Crescendo watching in the background.
Another first- New Year's Eve as husband and wife! I love it!
We really had a delightful first holiday season together. We are so very blessed...and looking forward most definitely to what 2008 has in store.
Love to you all!!
