Christmas

We had Christmas with my family on December 23rd. We began at a relatives house in Alma for dinner and then the secret santa/white elephant game that lasts FOREVER when there are 36 people involved. We then went to my mom's house and had Christmas with her immediate family.

We went to Johnny's families on Christmas eve in Fort Smith. We visited with his mom and uncle for a while, then went to his dad's for dinner.

Johnny and I have started being stingy with Christmas Day. The first 5 Christmas's we were married, we spent the entire week traveling and running around in circles. Last year we decided we want to be home on Christmas Day and be able to enjoy it. We did the same this year and cooked a dinner for anyone that wanted to come. I made an apple pie this year. It was my first attempt at one since I hate apple pie. Of course, it is Johnny's absolute favorite type of dessert.

Johnny was excited about his golf clubs. He has been wanting them for months. I didn't put the package under the tree because he would know what it was, so he was surprised when he finally got it.
