Life of Nate & Kate: Our Christmas Celebration 2011

For Christmas Eve this year we decided to do something different than usual. Instead of going to one of our parents houses we invited my Mom to ours! We baked a ham, and had some mashed potatoes and corn.. YUM. I also made some Sugar Cookies to leave for Santa :) We gave a plate of them to my mom.. Apparently they were really good her and my Stad were fighting over them on the way home. My mom is not a big game player but we played a couple rounds of Buzz Word ( which Brent is AMAZING at ) while Nate and Brianna played with her Christmas present.. Super Mario Bros Wii.

This is the one we got for ourselves

This one for Morgan & Jenna

Nate and i started a tradition of getting ourselves 2 ornaments a year which we have loved doing. ( one personalized and one that describes something that happened that year ) and so we decided to share that this year and get one for his two brothers that got married the same year as us.

Christmas Morning... Nate woke up at the butt crack of dawn!!! Just kidding it was 7 am but still... We had a very busy day so we really needed to be up that early. We spent lots of time with both of our families it was good to see everyone Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without lots of family.
