We successfully made it through our first Christmas as a married couple. Not that it was all that hard...we had fun with both sides of our families! The Wayne family Christmas was an exciting weekend as usual filled with many games of cribbage, hand and foot, great food and even a little shopping.

We also had the chance to host our first family holiday dinner for Christy's side of the family! It was great to be able to see my Aunt Pat and cousins Katie and Nate from Montana. The only people missing were Alex, Erica and the newest addition to the family Elsie who sadly had to go to a funeral for Erica's grandmother.

We were able to make two delicious turkeys and all kinds of side dishes with a little help from my mom and aunts! The only disaster was having the garbage disposal break down which resulted in a visit from the plumber the next day who also discovered a leaky pipe behind the wall... oh well such is life- better to fix it now than have a flood in the basement later!

Here are just a few pictures from this Christmas!
