A Post-Christmas update

Merry (belated) Christmas to you all! And what a wonderful one it was. I wanted to write a quick post about our holiday happenings, so bear with me. This post will be mainly pictures/captions :)

We left my parents at our house and headed south for this year's Christmas celebration with Patrick's family. Over 4 days we slept at 3 different houses, opened presents 5 different times, and at one point had 44 people crammed into a very small house. It was lots of fun!

After a whirlwind Christmas season Morgan and I are relaxing at my brother's house in Maryland. Patrick will join us tomorrow. I am taking this time to sit on the couch and be a lazy lump so when I return home on Saturday I will be rested and ready to tackle taking down the Christmas decorations (sigh).

We'll catch back up with you in 2010!
