Christmas 2011~ Our first Christmas

This year was our first married Christmas! Thanks to some of our wonderful friends we did have 2 first Christmas ornaments!! We spend Christmas Eve lunch at our apartment having appetizers and playing Christmas charades, then we were off to Mass for the Christmas service. And finally we went back to my parents' house for dinner and opening gifts. Christmas day Jamie and I got to spend time opening gifts, hanging out and then going for a run together. It was nice and relaxing! Christmas day dinner we spent with the Harris' and my family for dinner and corn hole. Here are the pictures!

Apartment #3 in one year

We are finally moved in, unpacked, and decorated for Christmas!!!! It's been a long week of trying to get done but we did it!! We still have to hang the mirror in our room and decide about curtains but for the most part it is finished. Here are the pics:

Master bath! It's huge with a big tub! Not that I take baths but you know

Dining room. We still need a kitchen table but it looks better dark brown

Ahhhhhh hello kitchen! I love this kitchen it is huge with lots of space. We even have a pantry!

Tough Mudder!

Last weekend Jamie and Tim competed in the Tough Mudder race in Tampa, Florida. This was a 12 mile race with 28 obstacles from jumping in ice water to climbing up a half pipe! They did awesome! Here are some of the pictures I took (I tried to make it to as many obstacles as a could).

Enter at your own risk..
