Our First Christmas!!!

Tidden's First Christmas! Sounds exciting doesn't it?! Well...not so much. It was honestly pretty calm. We made it in to the Tidden parents place late Christmas Eve. Christmas morning was a flurry of wrapping paper. My dad does this thing were he finds the most sedate of gifts and then proceeds to unwrap it as if he's winning the lotto complete with an excited lap around the house hootin an hollerin like a crazy person, Its a sight to see. We spent a few days relaxing with the fam. We managed to squeeze in a little time to ourselves and got to go ice skating together with intermitent moments of my little brother flying by and then crashing to the ice. Drove home on Friday because Mia had to work and then packed up again to drive to Dallas for New Years and a belated Christmas with Mia's parents. Made it to Dallas and spent two days with Mia's mom celebrating Christmas and spending time together. Then off to a New Years party were we partyed like rock stars(more to come in a future blog) Spent the night in a hotel so we wouldn't have to be on the road with all the drunks and crazies. Then it was off to see Mia's dad. We've spent the day relaxing and us men have been watching football all day and the women soaked up a chic flick. We'll be driving back to Corpus tomorrow but making a stop in San Antonio to see Asher(oh and Kev and Shaina too I guess) We've been having seperation anxiety since they moved out (they stayed with us for a couple weeks before Shaina had the baby) All in all we've done alot of driving but been blessed to have all this time off to be able to go visit family and a few friends along the way. We hope you're Christmas was as good as ours!
