Hay House: 1st Christmas

Our first Christmas as a family of three! In a lot of ways it was Tony and I's first Christmas too! It was the first year that Tony and I were both off of work since we have been married. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with the Hay family in Abilene... we even had a White Christmas (eve). The candlelight service was cancelled at church due to weather, so we just enjoyed some time together at the house. It was so fun seeing our niece Callie really get into things this year! We had a blast! Tony, Logan, and I spent Christmas morning together which was really special. We then headed to Cove for Christmas with my family (the Camerons, Turners, and Williams). Logan's first road trip! (which went suprisingly well) That can be summed up with "fun on the farm". Logan and my nephew Cameron got a miniature pony from my parents for Christmas... yes, a real one. Everyone had fun riding horses, watching Cameron play on his new tractor, and snuggling with Logan. Tony ended up getting strep throat so Logan and I stayed a few extra days with my parents and rang in the New Year. We also got to spend some extra time with Jamie and Cameron! Overall, we just had a very blessed time. We are very thankful for our families and feel very fortunate to be able to spend the holidays with them. We just wish everyone lived closer and we could do this more often. 2009 was full of MANY blessings for us. We look forward to what God has planned for our family in 2010!
