This last Christmas season was very busy indeed!
Every weekend was jam packed with festive activities ranging from cookie and white elephant gift exchanges, Christmas cards, shoppping and presents, a free performance of Handel's Messiah, church musical performances, a Scottish parade, Christmas parties, etc. Not to mention our "fun" apartment search. Phew!
December is one crazy month but we really enjoyed getting together with friends, focusing on the more spiritual aspects of Christmas and living it up. Of course we missed our family members but we were also grateful to skip out on the hectic holiday travel and to have an opportunity to relax.
On Christmast Eve 2011, Mike and I started the morning with a 15 mile bike ride. We're so grateful that it hasn't snowed in D.C. yet! This has been the most mild winter yet and we're loving it! (Knock on wood.)
Later that evening we got together with fun couples and enjoyed games, cheese and chocolate fondue, a secret santa gift exchange, etc. It was a pretty hilarious night!
We were pretty anti-social this past Christmas and decided to stay at home, relax and mostly catch up on our z's. In the morning, Mike gave a spiritual thought, we opened presents, made waffles and fruit smoothies for brunch, went to church, cleaned, cooked, slept some more, watched basketball, etc. It sure was one lazy day but I've been so dog tired lately that it felt like heaven!

We hope that you have also enjoyed a wonderful Christmas season!
Much Love,
Mike & Chelsea
