The Harmons: 1st MARRIED Christmas!!! Ü

WOW!! What a fun weekend!! Bryce and I had such a blast together!! Ü I had to work till 3:30 Christmas eve, so Bryce made plans to go golfing with his dad! They had a blast! His Dad & Kathy gave him new golf clubs for Christmas (& his birthday!) Ü SO sweet!! He loves them!! They could only golf nine holes cause it was so busy so they finished off their time watching the 49ers game of course! ;) After work and golfing we made dinner together...Southwest Pork Salad! MUY BIEN!! It was SO Yummy!!! And so fun to just be together and begin our own holiday traditions!! After dinner we finshed up a little wrapping and ran to back to the hosipital so I could grab part of Bryce's Christmas present that I left at work haha! Then home again! Ü We drove past the temple and the lights were gorgeous! I love the St George Temple! It is so simple! Ü When we got home Bryce read the story of Christ's birth from the bible. It was so special! Every year in my family my dad would read it to us Christmas Eve, so I was so excited to continue that tradition in our home! Ü Then of course we opened our Christmas pajamas...if you could call them that! ;) haha It was hilarious! We ended the night with my favorite Christmas movie...the the the THE GRINCH!!! Ü I love it! haha! We both were exhausted and ended up crashing during the movie! Ü

CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!

Sooo fun!! We woke up around 7 and opened our presents!! It was so fun! Bryce was so cute! I loved watching him watch me open my presents! He did such good job! Ü He was so excited for all the surprises and his great ideas! He gave me a tripod for our camera...so we can take pictures of ourselves anywhere!! haha ;) Seriously going to come in handy!! He also gave me a super cute workout outfit complete with new sports bra and super cute asic shoes ($30 special!! YAY!)!! haha should I be taking the workout clothes as a hint...? ;) haha just kidding! I have definitely been in need of it all!! I also got a snuggly scarf, mitten gloves, and a matching beanie! SOO cute! I am ready to go somewhere real cold to test them out! Ü and last but not least 2 bottles of perfume...they smell fabulous!! One is Sarah Jessica Parker NYC and the other (one of my fav, he picked out without knowing!) Ed Hardy! Ü yum! I could have watched him open his presents all day long! He is SOO cute!! I didn't want it to end! He got a sweet black jacket, some slick white kicks, a black collared shirt, and a blueish greenish shirt, some khaki pants and a belt to go with it, some sweet movies...Tommy Boy and our favorite lately...Just Go With It! Ü and last but not least...I framed his favorite picture from our wedding and my mom printed some vinyl that says.."Dreams really do come true" to go under it! Ü Opening our gifts to each other next to our cute Christmas tree in our own cute little apartment...seriously nothing better! Ü I am so grateful for Bryce - he really is my dream come true!! He kept saying he hasn't been so excited for Christmas since he was little! Ü and "I love Christmas with you!" What more could you ask for!? I love Christmas with YOU Babe!! Ü

Opening his stocking!

Then it was time to pack up the car and visit our familia! Ü My family was our first stop! We had breakfast with them and got to talk to ELDER JORDAN BRADLEY ABEL on the phone at 10! Ü It was SOOO great to hear his voice!! He is loving it!! He has training his companion right now and seems to be really enjoying it! His companion seems like a really great guy! Jord is loving the work! He sounds so grown up! Its crazy!!! I am so proud of him and his dilligence and desire to serve!! Can't wait for him to be home though! After we talked to him, Dad, Bryce, Tay, Sky & I played DICE and I must say...I kicked their butts! ;) haha Bryce always wins when we play runs & sets so I was so excited to finally beat him! Ü haha! Then we all got ready and went to church together! What a wonderful way to really put into perspective what Christmas is really all about...our Savior! I am so grateful for our Savior, I am grateful for his life and the example he set and lessons he taught! I am very grateful for the atonement! I am so grateful that I can be forgiven and made clean through Christ's atonement so that one day we can all live together with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ again.

After church we exchanged gifts among us kids! That was a lot of fun! Taylor had me! He is so thoughtful!! I love my family to pieces!! Then Grampy & Grammy came over just before Bryce & I left. They had the sweetest gift of all...a painting done by grampy himself!! It is beautiful!! It will be one of my most cherished gifts, along with the ring my grammy gave me a couple of weeks ago that she has from before my mom was even born! Such special treasures to me!! Ü

On to Larry & Kathy's for dinner!! We got there just after 3. We visited, exchanged gifts and ate a delicious dinner!! It was so fun just to be with them and talk about our lives and hear and tell funny stories about the past!! And then of course the day wouldn't be complete without some football! Ü Bryce let me sleep on his lap while they watched the game so I would be ready to work tonight! He is such a sweetheart...takes good care of me! It was so fun to see Larry and Kathy! We love them so much!! They are so thoughtful and loving!! As all our family is!! We are truly blessed!!
