The holidays brought lots of family love. Andrew and I drove back and forth between all the family gatherings and trying to incorporate as many traditions as possible.
We did find time to start our own little tradition. Andrew and I started dating on Christmas eve last year. But it feels more like we started dating on the 23rd because it was one in the morning by the time Andrew worked up the nerve (he's so cute). So we decided to create a tradition on the 23rd that we could do no matter what city we live in and the weather conditions. So we went and got hot chocolate then drove around and looked at Christmas lights. It was just a really relaxing time in the middle of all the holiday craziness. We also thought it would be good for once we have kids:)
Even with all the Christmas festivities I managed to get some wedding planning done. Andrew and I booked our airfare to Florida and the hotel for the night before the cruise. His parents blessed us by letting us use their reward points. We are going tomorrow to get Andrew is passport and once that is done everything relating to our honeymoon is complete. YAY!
My maid of honor came to town for Christmas. So the day after Christmas we went and I tried on my dress so she could see it. We also took advantage of that time to pick out my veil that my mom is going to make. We also went to babies r us so that Kelly could register for the little addition God is going to bring into their family.
I also sent in our engagement announcement to the oswego review so keep your eye out for that!

YAY! Can't wait to see the engagement announcement! And I love your Christmas tradition! PS -- you probably already know this, but don't change your passport name until after you get back from the honeymoon. xoxo
