Kenzie + Andin: Tis' the Season

So it has been a while since i have done an update of what has been going on so I thought I could blog about my first Christmas as a newlywed. It was strange for the first time having to split times with families and not participate in everything we each wanted to. but it still was wonderful and i was so happy to be able to spend such a special time with my favorite person in the world! It started with a ton of activities building up to Christmas with building the ice rink at Brett's to curling with the Ralph's, to Mikki getting home from her mission etc. Me and Ando have had a ton of fun spending time with our families this season and lucky for us the season keeps going as we get to go to the cabin and spend time with the Pavans this weekend and thru the new year! We had nativities we did with both families and got to show each other some of our traditions. On my side we did the nativity, curling, ice rink, fish pond and started a new one with the grandkids and everyone sleeping at my moms the weekend before Christmas and with Pavans we did the nativity, sweater party (only Andin got to attend because I had an alumni game), Christmas Eve sleepover, sibling/in-law gift exchange. We had a blast and it was fun to learn new traditions that we will carry out in our new family once it grows! This year we both got really spoiled to I got Andin a set of golf clubs (Nike Victory Reds) and Andin got me some sorel boots some military boots and a beautiful Nixon watch. From my mom I got an outfit and Andin got an Oregon sweater that I think he hasn't taken off since getting it! haha. We love our presents and are excited to get use out of them! I was super impressed too because Andin picked out all my stuff without me giving him any ideas! What a champ I have! And this week at the cabin I am going to give snowboarding another chance! I have hated it in the past and it has been super frustrating for sure but Andin says he will take the time with me so I can maybe enjoy it and learn a little better (basically I hate sucking at something and so its no fun for me!) haha Ill let you know if i change my mind once I'm done! Here are some pics of what we have been up to!
