Christmas and New Years

Aaron and I had a wonderful Christmas break! His family came to us again for Christmas. They got here the night before Christmas Eve and left the next day. It was quick but we enjoyed the time we had with them and appreciated their willingness to drive all that way for just a short period of time. Christmas Eve morning we had a big breakfast and opened presents. We showed them the new house and we played games all afternoon. They headed back home after supper.



Aaron and I spent Christmas Day at home alone again this year. It will be the last one for quite some time! We opened presents and lounged around. We also did some laundry and packed for the trip up north. After church on Sunday we hit the road.




We were able to spend a whole week with my family. Here's a quick recap of the things we did and a slideshow of pictures!
*Spent lots of quality time with family!
*2 breakfasts with friends
*met with my friend Beth at a coffee shop
*Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert-Aaron and I drove up to Grand Rapids for the concert. They put on quite the show!
*Family Christmases with the siblings
*New Year's Eve party at Greg and Natalie's
*Snider family Christmas on New Year's Day



Aaron and I left Saturday afternoon. Let me tell you, riding in a car for 5 hours is not as easy as it used to be! I was quite uncomfortable, but it was all worth it. :)
