There was no time to blog "Merry Christmas" yesterday. We had a very eventful 1st Married Christmas. I had to work until noon on Christmas Eve. We loaded up and headed to Prince Place (Brent's Gradmother's nursing home out in the boonies) and were able to visit with her for about an hour before heading to Hartselle. We then spent Christmas Eve at Grammie's. This year she gave us all poppers as our gag gift. Apparently they are used in Europe and she's working her way around countries and their traditions. My popper did not have a gold crown inside it like all the others. Brent wouldn't give up his crown; he wore it throughout the night. Lori can email me a picture to post of him in it. It looked great! Christmas morning was spent at home with Dad, Lori, Emily & Meagan. Then grandparents came and had breakfast with us. It was great being able to see everyone. We went to Memaw & Papaw's for Christmas Lunch and then to Brent's parents for Christmas Dinner. By the time the three of us got home (yes, Charlie traveled along with us) it was almost 9pm. We exchanged gifts (little ones since Pasadena is our present to ourselves and each other) and then went to bed. Brent woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible stomach virus. He has been down and out all day. I believe he's said maybe two sentences to me since he moved from the bed to the couch (4pm). I've spent the day learning my way around on our new imac. I love it! It makes blogging so much easier. Hopefully Brent will feel better tomorrow and I will not come down with the bug. Here are some pictures from Christmas Day:

I hope everyone had a wonderful time visiting with family. I know we did. I wish we had an extended period off from work. 1 1/2 days is just not enough! And for all of you who are upset with me for turning in identical Christmas Wish Lists: No worries, Next year I will have a sufficient list ready by Thanksgiving :)
SIDE NOTE: At this moment last year I was calling all of you to spread the word that Brent & I were engaged. I can't believe it's been 1 year. Thank Goodness we had a relatively short engagement. I cannot imagine life any other way!
