Christmas!

Christmas morning we woke up with cruise anticipation. I got a text at 7:10am saying that my parents were talking with my brother who's on a mission. I threw on a hoodie and went to their room while Dan followed later. We got to chat and he sounds great! I'm so excited and proud of him and what's he's doing in Michigan. He's a hard worker and loves people and I know that where he's at is where the Lord wants him.

Dan and I had a little Christmas with my parents and I got a cute Coach wallet and Dan got an itunes gift card--always appreciated! We then got ready and were picked up by a van to be taken to our cruise!!! The best thing about a cruise is that you board and you are on vacation! We immediately went on, sat down and began chowing down on lunch. Then we wandered around a bit and eventually checked out our ity bity rooms.

Thankfully we got our bags quickly and were able to dress up a bit for Christmas dinner. We have a family tradition of popping Christmas poppers at Christmas Eve dinner but since our big dinner was on Christmas, dad brought them and we got to wear our crowns for our meal. Mom got the best little present in her popper--a compact mirror that she's been using ever since!

It was definitely an unusual Christmas, but a lot of fun!
