It was kind of weird for Steve & I to spend Christmas alone this year. We tried to make the best out of it though.
We went out to dinner to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on Christmas Eve (thanks Andy & Mandie for the great gift card) and had a really nice time. I'm not sure that we've ever really got dressed up and went out to a nice restaurant so it was a very enjoyable way to spend Christmas eve. They had a wonderful piano player and it was so relaxing for me to just enjoy some quality time with Steve.
Christmas day was pretty much boring though. We slept in and I made some homemade blueberry muffins and then proceeded to make the Christmas day calls to family and friends. I was a little bummed, but the highlight of my day was being able to skype Dale & Missy and see the girls. Hannah & Ava gave me kisses via the computer screen and it was really cute and did my heart good.
The rest of our day consisted of re-organizing the cupboards in the kitchen, playing xbox and laughing at our neighbors who we could hear singing Karaoke next door.
Not very exciting, but then again I guess we're just not exciting people. I was just happy to spend time with my husband and reflect on all the good things that God has done for us this year. It's been a hard year, but a good year that we'll never forget too. That being said I can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for us.
