The Smith's First Christmas

This Christmas season has been new and different for me. It was my first Christmas as a married woman! It was also my first Christmas spent away from my family. I miss all of you so much! Yet Michael and I enjoyed our first Christmas day spent together. I thought I would post some pictures to chronicle our day...

We woke up early and made cinnamon rolls! Here I am with our delicious rolls, right before putting them in the oven..
Here is Michael frosting them after they were done. There was so much butter in that frosting that we called it butter-frosting and thought of Nick...

After breakfast, we got ready and headed up to Midland with Michael's sister and her boyfriend. Michael's parents and his three younger brothers were all there. When we got there, we opened gifts, ate dinner, then played a game of Buzz Word together.

Michael's youngest brother had built a huge snow fort in the yard, so went outside to check it out. Michael and his brothers hanging out on the fort...
Michael decided to pick me up...

We headed back home around 7 and relaxed for the rest of the evening. We took this picture together in front of our tree in our apartment..
So, that was our first Christmas together! Michael is back to work today. I have another week off from work. We can't wait to come to Cincinnati next weekend to celebrate Christmas with my family:) We love and miss you all!!
