This past holiday season was marked by a slew of things that we did for the first time. Rather than an elaborate post on Thanksgiving and Christmas, I thought I'd highlight the holiday season with our "firsts."
 |
| We hosted Thanksgiving for the first time, and I made my first turkey. Little did I know that it takes a few days for a frozen turkey to defrost. I bought mine the day before Thanksgiving and had to do a quick thaw in the cooler. Lesson learned. |
 |
| Matt carved his first turkey. Look at that intense concentration :) |
 |
| Our friends played our XBox 360 (Thanks, Dad!) for the first time... |
 |
| ...and fell asleep after a big Thanksgiving lunch. Sorry, Kahleel, just had to put this one in :) |
 |
| Christmas brought about Abigail's first Christmas program at preschool. This was about the time that Matt and I realized we had become those parents armed with a camera and video camera. |
 |
| We hosted Christmas for the first time and were blessed to be able to celebrate with Matt's entire family. |
 |
| Claire celebrated her first Christmas and was given a thorough tutorial by her sister and cousins as to how to open presents. |
 |
| And lastly, we made our first gingerbread house. Yum! |
