Second Christmas together.

This was our second Christmas together being married! I dunno what it is but really every single day lately I've just been so freaking grateful to be married to Jason and to have him in my life so I was so excited for another Christmas together! My brother was in town so he stayed with us on Christmas eve + Christmas morning (newly divorced parents make holidays kind of awkward to figure out so that's why he stayed with us I think. That's why I would have stayed with us haha) But it was good to have him there! We weren't sure exactly how his Christmas would go because, again, family dynamics are weird this Christmas, so we got him some presents and filled a stocking to make sure that he got presents and had a good Christmas! After we opened presents and hung out for a little bit, Jason & I went to his parents house for breakfast and Craig went to our mom's house for other Christmas stuff.

All I asked for Christmas was workout stuff like a yoga mat and weights because I really want to have that stuff available so I can do workouts at home (obvi :) ) So I got tons of workout stuff and I was shocked because he got me a lululemon yoga mat!! I know it's silly to be excited about a yoga mat but I secretly love lululemon and the only stuff I have from there is all China knockoffs haha so I was excited to get real lululemon gear + workout pants! I got J some fancy soccer cleats (don't ask me what they do or why they're special because I have no idea, all I know is that's what he wanted and that they cost the same as all my shoes combined haha) and I got him random clothes and tickets to see 21 pilots in July!

Later that day, all of J's family got to their house and we opened up presents over there. It's the best seeing all the kids open their gifts and get so excited over everything :) Also I am pretty sure Jason's parents ARE santa clause, like for real. They nail Christmas every single year. This year they got us a new mattress! We didn't even ask for it and I don't even know if we mentioned it but we were literally mattress shopping the week before, which turned into mattress topper shopping, which turned into "maybe we'll look later..." because those things ain't cheap and then bam! His parents get us a new mattress that is seriously so dang comfy. They just KNOW what you want and are so thoughtful and generous. Needless to say, we love our mattress! I feel so adult rn getting so happy over a mattress haha

Obviously I can't just miss the actual reason that we celebrate Christmas! Not sure if you guys noticed that little ad guy on my side bar (I'll be deleting it later just because Christmas is over :'( ) but it talks about the real GIFT of Christmas, which is Christ! No matter what you believe, CHRISTmas is about Christ and the true and amazing gift he gave to us.

But there you have it! Christmas was so fun and so good to spend time with my family and eat good food and just have a day to hang out!! I hope you guys all had a great Christmas and holiday!!
