Our last Christmas

Ok, it's not our last Christmas. But it was our last Christmas just the two of us. I remember the first Christmas that I brought Morgan home to meet my family. We had been dating about 5 months. We had already known that we were going to get married one day, but I still wanted my family to love him and him to love my family. I remember being so nervous the whole time, but I shouldn't have been. He was meant to be my family.

The next Christmas was our first as a married couple. In my opinion, there is nothing better then waking up on Christmas morning in the arms of your true love. That first Christmas was so special. We woke up in our little apartment, opened our gifts to each other in our PJ's, and just took our time enjoying that first special Christmas.

No pics on my computer from that year....

Last Christmas was a tough season for us. We had quietly gone through our first miscarriage. We had found out at the beginning of the month we were pregnant, only a week later to lose the pregnancy. It was something we had only told our parents and it was hard to go through the motions of the holidays with people who didn't know what had happened. We did end up spending a few days after Christmas with Morgan's family in the mountains and that was a good time of healing for me.

Again no pics of that year on my computer...geesh...

This year has been the best. I feel like the season has lasted a while and I've been able to enjoy all of it. We've had a great time helping out with our church.

Christmas shopping wasn't too bad. I'm the worlds worst at gift giving. My mind goes a complete blank and I have no idea what to give people. This Christmas season we got to find out great news about babies. First we found out that our good friends were expecting about a month behind us. This was so awesome! I've always dreamed about being pregnant with a friend

at the same time and relatively close to the same dates and now I do!!! Then two days before Christmas we found out we were going to have two sweet little girls. They already are showing the personality. One is shy and one is so not. I'm going to be a mom to two girls.....that's another post in itself!

Christmas Eve we went to Morgan's parents and had a seafood boil. It was really good! We also got to announce about the girls. We had two presents wrapped up from them. Harriet opened one while Dave opened the other and they saw boxes full of little hair bows. I think everyone was a little shocked about two girls, but I hope everyone is happy! Christmas day was just what I wanted. We woke up early and just snuggled and talked about our future, and how scary and exciting it's going to be. We got up and opened up gifts. Morgan outdid himself this year. He totally surprised me with a Coach bag I've been dreaming of (with the help of a dear friend who got him a great deal). Then we got dressed and headed back to his parents. We spent

all day there just talking and enjoying family. They gave us our first carseat! Yay!! Overall it was one of the best Christmases ever. I can't wait to spend all my coming Christmas seasons with our girls. But til then I'll always remember these special Christmases with just the two of us.
