Christmas was pretty quiet at the Brooksby home this year... it was just the two of us in our little apartment in Michigan! It was definitely different and weird not spending it with family, but we enjoyed the time we had together!
We started christmas off with a Brooksby tradition and opened our stockings on Christmas Eve!
We then got all comfy in our pj's and snuggled on the couch while we watched the movie 'Elf'. :)
After the movie, it was time to head to bed so Santa could come! While waiting to fall asleep we continued a Hahn sibling tradition and listened to the Chipmunks Christmas CD! (It's not Christmas Eve without some Chipmunk christmas!)
Merry Christmas!!
We woke up Christmas morning to a sorta-kinda white christmas. It definitely helped make Christmas morning feel more magical!
After we opened our presents and played around with them for a bit, we decided we were hungry. So we made cinnamon french toast and buttermilk syrup... so so yummy! (Another Hahn tradition)
Look at my handsome hubby in his new clothes!
Lookin' good! ;)
Nathan also got a computer code reader for his car and an organizer for all of his many hardware pieces. AND he got a table saw! He was very very excited about that one!
And for me... I got this amazingly awesome Silhouette Cameo and many tools to go with it!! AHHH so stoked for it! I can do so many projects with this thing! I can't wait! :D
So since we weren't with family this year, we spent most of the afternoon on google hangouts with both the Brooksby's and the Hahn's! I am so grateful for technology that allows us to see and talk to family that are so far away! It was so nice to talk to everyone and see all the nieces and nephews and how excited they were. It was so fun!
We spent a couple hours over at our friends house, who invited us over for Christmas dinner, which was so delicious, and games. We had such a fun time with them and their kids! We played games, had karaoke, and puppet shows! It made for a very fun and eventful evening, we loved it!
The rest of the night was spent cleaning up and then packing for our trip to Minnesota for Aaron and Chelsea's wedding! (Nathan's younger brother). We were leaving that next morning super early so we had to get everything ready that night!
What a wonderful Christmas it was for us! We were truly blessed and loved the time we got to spend with one another!
Merry Christmas Everyone! :)
