Christmas 2010

So...I have about 4 new posts to write, so pardon the lack of detail while I briefly run through these next few posts...pictures of course. 

Tyler and I were home for a full 2 weeks at Christmas this year...it was long/short/slow/fast/and wonderful!  We are so lucky that both of our families live in Allen and we get to kill two birds with one stone when we go home.  One of the things we try to do (maybe 2 times a year...so far at least) is spend one night just the two of us in a fancy hotel!  This break we stayed at the Warwick Melrose...gorgeous!  Here is the view from our window:

Dinner = sushi...duh, every special occassion calls for sushi

Another highlight of the break was bestie dinner.  Megan, Danielle, Kelsey, Lindsey, Nikki, Kayla, and I went to La Duni for dinner and then it was back to the Maxwell House for drinks/dessert/coffee and gift exchange!  The night was a success, and I went home with a pretty new soup crock and little soup crock bowls...as promised Danielle, a post is coming soon.

All of the gift exchange girls...we missed you Lyn!

Last but not least, family pictures on Christmas Eve.  For the ? time, Carpenters and Selfs got together for Christmas Eve dinner, and we were joined for the second year by the Ellis family!  Tyler and I are so thankful that our families have fun with each other.  It has made these past two Christmas Eves WONDERFUL!!!
