Once again, Christmas has come and gone. I honestly have no idea where this year has gone. Christmas was just yesterday, today is wednesday, our schedules are now all out of whack, and I just don't want this christmas season to end. One thing however that I am so grateful and happy about is that it snowed a bunch on Christmas eve! If I was staying here for Christmas there was no way I was going to be happy without snow on the ground........and now it won't stop snowing....cool.
Before the whole Christmas scene, we got to hang out with some friends and make some yummy candy, and have a Harry Potter themed dinner. Both were definitely a success. It's always fun hanging out with awesome people and just laughing and playing games for hours. Definitely what we needed after a long semester.
Christmas with the Clarks was so much fun! We played games and ate, laughed, ate, watched movies, ate, slept..oh..and ate some more. This was my first Christmas away from home, and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. If Skype didn't exist, I probably would have died, but it was nice seeing my family and seeing their gifts. I do have to say that Ty's family is awesome. I am so glad that he loves my family and I love his, we definitely got lucky with our in-laws.
Watching our niece and nephew open their gifts Christmas morning was definitely the best part of the day. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one in the room looking back at that age and how exciting it was as a kid to see what Santa brought, and to play with all of your toys non stop the rest of the day. As you grow up, the day is still exciting, yet it changes so much. It's crazy how as you get older the things you want start to lessen, and you start having to think really hard at things you need or even want. Oh to be a kid again and want everything in any toy store everywhere.
Today was back to work for us, and it was a struggle. I'm sure all of you are with me when I say we should get the day after Christmas off...even if you aren't a parent yet or whatever, just being around people all day and dealing with all of the craziness, it really takes it out of ya! Other than that, nothing to new in the Clark house. Just enjoying the break and starting to get Ty ready for the semester coming up really fast! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! :)
Love, Ty and Jess
