1st Christmas as Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Johnston!

Wow! Our first Christmas as husband and wife! We had a fabulous Christmas this year. I woke up at 5:30am (as usual on Christmas morning) and tip-toed out to the living room to see if I could catch a peek at Santa. No such luck. He's just too fast.

One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to sit in front of the tree with all other lights off but the tree lights. I enjoy just sitting there, thinking about the giving season, and acknowledging all I have to be thankful for. This year, Christmas morning, I thought about how Taylor and I did not buy one single gift for each other, but were able to buy for those less fortunate, as well as for our families. It filled my heart with so much joy to be around family and friends during the holiday season, and to know that we enriched others lives by giving what we could.

We spent Christmas morning with Taylor's immediate family at his parents house. From there we went to my Grams' to celebrate with my family. Little LC was so absolutely darling! Her age is so much fun...so many smiles and laughs! I love her to pieces! After Grams' we went to Taylor's Granny's for their yearly Christmas with Taylor's Mom's family.

We had a fabulous day being around those we love so much and are so thankful for all of the gifts we received....but most of all, the love we share among our combined families.
