Christmas memories

Adam and I went to the Nutcracker (neither of us had seen it before) this afternoon with friends Brad and Kelsey. It was put on by a local ballet with 6 professional dancers. It was in a beautiful old theater and we sat in the balcony so we had a great view of the stage with were close to the beautifully painted ceiling. I loved getting dressed up (and Adam was a good sport and even wore his red tie that matched my shirt). I also loved the music and the dancing. Maybe this will become a Christmas tradition.

After the show we came back to our place for a late dinner. Crock pot roasts are just so easy and tasty! We got really fancy and got out our good china. To finish out the date we drove around looking at Christmas lights and singing along to the radio—it even started snowing. This is my favorite kind of Christmas celebration, spending time with people. My love language is quality time and it really does translate into all my relationships. We exchanged small gifts which are always fun, but the time together laughing and talking is what really counts. Call me cheesy, but Adam and I are so thankful for our couple friends. We just love having people to do things with!
