Our First Thanksgiving & Christmas as Husband & Wife

Thanksgiving

Since Mark's parents live an one hour drive away and Vickie's parents live a four hour plane trip away, we opted to go to Mark's parents for Thanksgiving. We had a great time and got a chance to celebrate Mark's siblings, David and Kathryn's birthdays.





Christmas

We decided that since Vickie's sister had just had a baby and Vickie REALLY wanted to see her parents soon, that we would go to California for Christmas this year. So, we celebrated with Mark's family the weekend before Christmas:



We flew into California on December 23th. We had a great time!!! Mark is the godfather of Emily, Cathy (Vickie's sister) & Brian's new baby daughter. Aren't we cute with her??




On Christmas Eve, Emily was baptised...

Mark read the first reading..



Father Bob baptised Emily & Mark blessed her as well..
