So despite this being our first Christmas together as a married couple and family, this year was a bit sad for us as Katie spent the holiday with her mom. However, we celebrated Christmas a week early with Katie by packing up a few mugs of hot chocolate and a bag of cookies, throwing her and Sally in the car and heading over to see the Tumbleweed Christmas Tree in Downtown Chandler.
The next morning we surprised her with her favorite breakfast (pancakes) and a surprise visit from Grandma Judy and Grandpa Larry. We opened presents and pretty much pretended it was Christmas morning. We tried our hardest to make the best out of the situation.
The following week, Scott's brother Mark and his wife Meridith flew in from Texas and kept us company over the real holiday. This was especially fun because Meridith is 7 months pregnant!! It was certainly nice to have guests around to keep us from feeling the empty house syndrome. Sally was especially happy to have Mark and Meridith in the house because they spoiled her. She was pretty sad when they left...as were we.
