Our first Christmas away from home!:(

Although we weren't able to go home for Christmas this year, we still had a great time!! A few days before Christmas we went to a place here in NC called McAdenville (it is nicknamed Christmastown USA). It is a little town that is decorated every year with tons of lights and trees and nativities, and it is in the top places in the US for most lights per square foot:) here were some of my favorite pics from there...

I had to work a couple of different days on Christmas week, which is why we weren't able to go home. But the days I had off were a lot of fun! We went ice skating... Bowling.... Shopping... Daily walks outside... And lots of face time with family on Christmas Day:) 

Tyler even did his own special wrapping job for one of my presents he put under the tree for me... He used a blanket to wrap a sweater he got for me:) ha

We were able to relax a lot over the break, and it was a great Christmas. For New Year's Eve we went to some friends of ours party and it was a great time too! We have really enjoyed living here in Raleigh, and will be sad to leave soon, but are very excited for our next adventure:) I hope you all had a great Christmas and happy new year!
