Merry Christmas

katy and i are celebrating our first Christmas together as husband and wife. we are excited to spend the holiday with family, but are constantly thinking about those we won't be seeing. two of those people are kyle and stefani; our cousin, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and probably grandma and uncle. we wanted to take a minute or two and share some of our favorite Christmas memories of them with you.

jeff: i remember getting up every Christmas morning, ripping open my presents with my family, being way too excited to be receiving so many gifts; usually because i was probably way too naughty that year to receive so many of them. then; right after we were finished; i'd dash for the phone to call kyle. we'd immedately start rattling off all the things we received. oh, did i mention that we were going to see each other a couple hours later at our grand parents? that's right...we just couldn't wait to hear what each other got. we weren't just cousins, we were best friends. that means if kyle got the new earl weaver baseball, i got it too!! and if i received some masters of the universe figures, kyle would humor me and act like he enjoyed playing with them also. so, this year when i open my presents i'll imagine that kyle is right there to lie to me and tell me how cool everything i received really is! miss you buddy....see ya in a few months. happy festivus

katy: when i think about Christmas with our family back in the day, i seem to always remember when we would all pile in our moms "big ol" suburban with a whole bunch of pizzas and go around this BIG town of abilene to look at Christmas lights! it was a time for us to just hang out as a family...no presents...no chaos...no fighting..just christmas music, family and PIZZA! cant get any better than that! seeing as how this has always been a tradition for me, i couldnt "not go" look at lights this year SO i piled in the car with my gassy husband and ryan after eating bill millers (not quite the pizza it used to be!) and boy did we have the greatest time ever!! (NOT!) haha it was a time filled with laughing, farting, singing, farting, driking my sweet tea while coughing my head off, farting, laughing some more.... oh, and did i mention FARTING??!?!? it was HORRIBLE!!!! stefani...PLEASE come back soon so we can go look at Christmas lights next year TOGETHER! maybe even alone?! haha

hope you all enjoyed our little flashback to the simplier times of Christmas. katy and i want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.
