Our blog posting has been a little tardy, so here we are the day after Christmas with a fresh post.
In the past, our tree has fit our small living arrangements well. Unfortunately, this year, it looked like a mini. We still liked it, and with the Mistletoe candle burning, we felt like it was "real" enough.
We came home from Oahu in the late afternoon on Christmas Eve, and had several couples over for dinner and games. We actually didn't contribute anything but the salad and house, and had a tasty traditional meal of lasagne and cranberry muffins. Yum. (We are really terrible about remembering to take pictures. This is one of the only ones that turned out that night.)
Christmas morning, we woke up and started orange rolls for breakfast. (Thanks, Ang!) We tore into our presents--already knowing what most of them were. Brady surprised me with a jewelry organizer, which added to my fantastic stash that included an IPod, car stereo converter, and some new shoes. Brady's only surprise from me was some cologne. Our favorite gift is seen below--my parents made a BYU blanket for Zachary! We also loved the knife from Cory and Kristen (cutting off Brady's neck) and the Michigan memorabilia from Mom and Dad Edwards.
We had four couples over for a yummy Christmas breakfast, and then went up the North Shore to practice surfing. Don't be too impressed--the waves were not even one footers. It was a blast, though, and we are getting more comfortable standing on the boards. We finally don't look as unsteady as most beginners (like, for instance, the girl to the right of me who is just about to fall).
We missed seeing little neices, nephews, and siblings open gifts this year, but we look forward to seeing many of them in a few weeks!
Merry Christmas!
