The Christie Christmas

So I'm way behind in my blogging! Things got busy with work and then epic travels, followed by my birthday and after all that Matt and I came back with colds. Phew! We're finally settling back (and our apartment is looking normal again thank goodness). I should have taken before and after shots of our apartment. I worked miracles this week for sure!

Anyways, stay tuned for some catch up on the last month of our lives! First up, the Christie Christmas. Every year growing up, my family went to Ohio for actual Christmas so we had Christmas early at home (so we didn't have to take all our presents with us). We still have this tradition today. As our family has grown, we're not all Christie's anymore, so it's now called the "Christie Christmas" or "Christimas" as Charlie coined it last year. :)

Here are a few of my favorite photos from this year:

My office gave our a holiday word scramble.
I brought it to Christmas because we all know how my family loves puzzles!

This year we had a really fun time opening stockings!
For some reason they were really great compared to past years.
