We here in the Spencer house had an amazing Holiday season! It started out the day after Thanksgiving, we put up our tree and Christmas decor. The next event we participated in was going with my sister in laws and brother in laws to the Festival of Trees, My Sister in law Beth decorates a tree to put there every year, this year she decided to do one in memory of our brother in law Jeff who passed away in September. It turned out beautiful! Christmas Eve means the Spencer family progressive dinner and Yankee swapp! Let me just tell you we Spencers take these two thingsVERY seriously! The food at each house was SO delicious and everyones houses were so beautiful! After we were so full that we practically had to roll ourselves out of the door to go home, Rick and I did our little family tradition of opening our Chrismas Eve present. Rick always picks out the cutest most comfy jammies for me! Christmas morning we woke up and opened our gifts to eachother.This year I decided to fill Rick in on a tradition my family had growing up of getting a chocolate initial from the dutch store in our stocking, he loved it! I think that tradition will live on in this Spencer family! I got spoiled again this year like always! Rick got me a beautilful Armoire for my jewlery, a super comfy electric blanket,(he knows after 4 years with me that I am almost never warm), and a really cute sweater dress! The thing that I was super excited and surprized by though was I FINALLY got the Willow Tree statue that I have wanted for so long now!! After we finished opening our presents we headed off to my parents house where we had a super yummy breakfast followed by a game of Twilight New Moon trivia!(Yes I totally won!) Now we are looking forward to a nice and hopefully slightly less eventful 2010! We love you all and hope your holiday season was wonderful to! Happy 2010
