We had a great time in Terre Haute and Indianapolis with both our families. Here are some pictures to give you an idea of what we did:

best Christmas CD ever…just Chris Rice playing Christmas songs on his piano in his own living room. We listen to it through the whole holiday season. It never gets old! We even pop it in during the summer some times.

Our first married Christmas was really fun. We spent Christmas eve with the Goodwins then Christmas day with the Burkes. The fellowship with our family and friends was very nice. I also think that everyone loved the gifts that we got them, especially my parents and their new cordless phone ( :

We’re heading out for Christmas once Lindsay gets back from work (around 1:00). We’re first heading to Indianapolis to spend the afternoon and evening with Mike’s family…It won’t be long, but it should be fun. Then we’re driving late tonight to Terre Haute to be with Lindsay’s family on Sunday. Then we’re headed back to Lafayette on Monday. All in all, it should be a fun time. I’m sure we’ll have pictures and updates once we get back.

We’re all done with our shopping! We had almost everything a couple of weeks ago, but we were a little stumped for a couple of our gift recipients! Last night, we were able to find something for everyone. Now, we’ve just got to wrap all the gifts. I was off half-day today, since I have to work Saturday, and I meant to get some of the wrapping done. Unfortunately, I gave in to my desire to read my book! ( : I’ll probably wrap when we get back from the Children’s Christmas Party at church!

Love you all!

Oh Christmas Tree! How lovely are your branches!

I’ve had the Christmas Tree up since the weekend before Thanksgiving, but we had a mishap:

I checked every single strand of lights before I put them on the tree, and they all worked. Then, the next day, when I plugged it in, only one strand worked. I was so frustrated. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my beautiful tree! Well, today my wonderful husband scrounged around in the tree and FIXED THEM!!! Wahoo! So, now I have pictures for you all.
