I can't believe just how fast Christmas came and went this year. We had a wonderful Christmas, spent with close friends and family. I love getting into the Christmas spirit every year and this one was no different. So to get into the spirit, my family and I went to go look at all of the Christmas lights. We made our way all around the East Valley and ended the trip on my favorite street of lights in Chandler.

Me and DadOn Christmas Eve we go over to the McCann's to open presents. It is nice that they celebrate on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day, so that Aaron and I aren't forced to split our time between the two families. We opened presents and enjoyed excellent food and company over at Aaron's parents house.
Christmas morning then, is spent with the Nelson's. It is a tradition to make popovers on Christmas morning, so we got there early enough for breakfast. They were delicious! Then we opened presents and watched movies until it was time to eat again. As you can tell, my family really enjoys their food!
Aaron made out very well this Christmas and was especially excited about his Dark Night DVD and the popcorn popper that was given to him by my parents. My husband loves his popcorn. He can finish a jumbo tub of popcorn at the movies before the previews are over! Needless to say, we will definitely make good use of that present.
I also did well since the only thing I really wanted was Adobe Photoshop. Now that I have it my new hobby is digital scrapbooking. I am still learning, but hopefully I will pick up all the tricks in Photoshop very soon. I am also saving up for a SLR camera since my digital camera's pictures are not good enough anymore. Oh well maybe next Christmas! If anyone knows of a good camera though, please let me know.
And last, but not least, the Mules got a pretty good present also. Here she is enjoying her HUGE bone. She gets one every year for Christmas and it keeps her busy for a couple weeks.
Merry Christmas
