Our First Christmas

Our very first Christmas as a married couple was spent in Virginia at Nestor's parents house. We started the celebration at midnight. We had a nice pork chop dinner followed by singing and spiritual messages on the Savior. Nestor and I contributed by creating a puppet show of the nativity for Lucas and Victoria. I then helped Lucas and Victoria decorate cookies for Santa Claus who would be coming later. Lucas and Victoria were very excited for Santa and couldn't stop talking about him. Lucas even used my cell phone to call him a couple of times. Very Cute!!! Santa (Nestor's Dad) finally arrived through the back door of the house. Lucas and Victoria were scared to death and refused to sit on his lap, Victoria covered her eyes the entire time. After Santa left the family started open presents. There were tons of presents under the tree and we didn't finish unwrapping presents until 4 am. The next morning we woke up around 10 am to make the Christmas breakfast. Nestor and I then hung out with his family and cousins most of the day.
We then packed up and went home to have our own celebration as our family. We opened our stockings by the Christmas tree. It was a wonderful first Christmas!!!
