christmas 2009

we had planned on spending christmas at home in north carolina. our first christmas as a family, without traveling. we'd have our first live tree since we've been married, and make lots of happy memories... but then things changed (as they always do!) and we ended up flying to wa for christmas with our families. i was super happy to be able to go "home" for the holidays, although i must admit, it was a bit stressful being so last minute. things turned out well after all... here's pics!
