Christmas Week Festivities

Somehow, Christmas has already come and gone, and we are staring 2013 square in the eye. Where does the time go?!

This Christmas was wonderful, we spent time with my family who flew in from Colorado, and did our best to show them what Dayton has to offer.

Here is a little recap of Christmas 2012 (warning: picture overload!):

 

My dad went to AFIT (the same program Tyler is currently doing to get his masters) when I was 3-4 years old. In the library, they keep a copy of every thesis written through this program. It was so much fun to find my dad's and look through it. Amazing where we have come in such a short time!

 

They say you marry someone just like your father. That couldn't be more true for me... I ended up with a carbon copy. Tyler enjoyed finally having someone around to jam with.

 

Sisters :)

 

Clifton Mill is an amazing place outside of the city where millions of lights are put up every year for guests to enjoy- just the thing to get us in the Christmas spirit!

 

 

Christmas morning- Santa found us, again! Our families spoiled us, as they tend to do :)

 

Christmas Tree photo op.

 

I don't particularly love the idea of putting clothes on our 65 pound German shepherd- I certainly don't want to embarrass her (or more importantly, us.) Big dogs just don't need clothes... BUT we bought her a Batman Halloween costume last year, because we don't have kids, and it sounded like a great idea. Turns out, she LOVES clothes! She seems to feel super confident when we put something on her and doesn't even fight it. Hence; the pink jacket. I mean, this picture says it all. I think she's literally posing for the camera. So yes, we did buy a jacket for our dog, and yes, she loves it.

 

Nothing beats an afternoon nap on a snowy afternoon!

 

 

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed family, friends, good times, and good food! Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
