Christmas 2008

John & I had such a great Christmas this year. We had the chance to hang out with our families & have Christmas in our new house…it doesn’t get much better than that! 🙂 Here’s a shot from Christmas morning at dad’s house!

John & I in our cute Santa hats! 🙂 …of course, mine was pink! LOL

My step-mom, Kitty, showing off her cute collectible that she wanted this year…

Then we headed to mom’s house that afternoon for Christmas with her side of the family…Mandy was SO excited to see what she got! LOL

What would Christmas be without the new peppermint cupcakes from Holy Cow, Cupcakes?! 🙂 YUM!!! John & I brought some over to dad’s house & mom’s house this year and they were a huge hit!

That evening, my grandparents came over to our new house for the first time so we took some pics in front of the tree…

Then the next day, we did our annual carriage ride downtown and stop at The South Bend Chocolate Company! Mary & Leah posed for a quick photo…

John & I got our usual…they have the BEST hot chocolate EVER!

My favorite shot of dad this holiday season! 🙂 …..love the green Santa hat with the shamrock, it’s SO him!! 🙂

And to wrap things up with our “Cans for Comments” project, we bought over 50 cans to donate to Gleaners this week! Thanks to ALL of you who participated in our charity project this holiday season!! 🙂
