We've just wrapped up the last of our Christmas celebrations and we couldn't be more thankful and appreciative that we got to spend time with both of our families once again. Last year, I did a pretty extensive play-by-play of both trips, but I got inspiration from my mom to do a quick recap in just a few words and of course...a lot of pictures!
Texas Christmas = Family, Mike and I beating everyone in Logo, welcome dinner @ Via Real, patron floaters, matching outfits, 600 colored lights from CVS, Griswalds Christmas Vacation, Moose Mugs, matching PJs, mom's Chanel necklace, endless Christmas music, the Book of Joy, wine, homemade Baileys, 2lb live Maine Lobsters, Bear's game, self timed pictures, sing-a-longs, a $19.99 guitar from CVS, snuggling, 6 people and two dogs on one couch, 5 lbs of pistachios, dogs waiting for Santa Paws, parking in Downtown Dallas, Mike's first encounter with a chameleon, Burton's Christmas tie, cozy sweaters, Yankee candles, eggnog, more wine, and posing by the Christmas tree.

On Christmas Day, Mike and I took the first flight out of Dallas during a crazy thunderstorm (which later yielded a few inches of snow, I'm sorry we missed it!) to NYC for part II of the Mobley's 2012 Christmas holiday. I've mentioned in a few posts, how excited I was to host Michael's family in our city and celebrate Christmas for the first time ever in our apartment. They were here for a few days and our NYC Christmas can be summed up in the following few words:
NYC Christmas = Family, Christmastime in the city, snow, diamonds, a Metallica guitar surprise, Iron Maiden Vans, Vadar cufflinks, a vintage Jim McMahon shirt, Starbucks Christmas blend, scotch, a new red coat, our first Christmas night with our little family, lead soldiers, stockings bursting with gifts, English crackers, One if by Land Two if by Sea, Christmas songs on the piano, Gramercy Park hotel breakfasts, the Holiday, goose dinner at Rolf's, mulled wine, our electric fireplace, Fair Isle sweaters, bourbon, tea, Les Miserables on a cold day, a lot of red & green tartan, colossal beers at Zum Schneiders, cousins, Old Fashioneds & martinis at the Campbell Apartments, coffee and Baileys, a 42 Year Anniversary, PJ Clarks, an Hermes scarf, a snuggly bulldog, the Kennedy Honors, and more scotch!

This has been a season full of love, a lot of laughter, and quite a few surprises. We are grateful for all that it has brought to Michael and I and we couldn't have asked for a more memorable Christmas in our second year as a family. From our family to yours, we hope everyone had a blessed Christmas with their loved ones and a joyful holiday season.
