It's been a good Christmas celebrating with our family!
 |
| I thought this was the most adorable thing ever. Tannin scurried over to the nativity and looked at Mary and Joseph and then down at baby Jesus for 5 minutes. May we all be like Tannin and remember the "reason for the season" #AllCreaturesOfOurGodAndKing |
To start Christmas break, I finally got my MSCN certificate in the mail that says I'm now an MS certified RN!
Taylor got in a snow fight with Tannin to blow off some steam after his last final...
Christmas Eve Taylor and I opened up one present each that we gave to each other.
 |
| And Tannin got 8 fatty worms as her present....She'll be as big and jolly as ol' saint Nicolas soon! |
 |
| Tannin also had to open up the presents for Mom and Dad...After all, "claws are better than fingernails," she says. |
 |
| Taylor's gift to me included a poem. |
My cheese!!! This was actually a huge surprise since I've finally started to tolerated cheese again, and Taylor isn't a fan of buying cheese when we are lactose intolerant...
 |
| It was delicious. |
My present Taylor opened was a Mickey and Minnie 1000 piece puzzle.
 |
| Tannin is expert at puzzling and deigned to help. |
And per tradition, Taylor and I slept under our Christmas tree. Tannin also tried to get in on the action by hiding under the Christmas tree...
Christmas day we had the morning together, and then went to the Drake parents.
 |
| This was some cool wrapping paper from Tim and Vanella. |
And also quickly stopped by the Justice parents.
Taylor made an amazing music box and arranged 3 of my original compositions to play in it.
 |
| First, he looked at the songs and picked up what measures he thought would be best in a short 16-17 measure piece. |
 |
| Then, after he transposed the music to fit the music box's range, he cut the holes that would then pluck the strings. |
The Justice side celebrated Christmas a few days later with grandparents and Carlie and Seth.

That was so fun to read! I smiled when I saw Tannin neatly wrapped in a bow! You guys are funny! Tannin is one lucky lizard! Plenty of love and attention for that little one! Thanks again for the beautiful music box! That is such an amazing gift from the heart! I love Kelsey's music, so this was a fun and unique way to enjoy it! It will be fun to show your kids someday! Hope you had fun at your wedding stuff today. We missed you guys! Looking forward to seeing you at the reception for Jacob and Sierra tomorrow. Love you guys! Mamason :)
