kristin brown photography: .christmas 2009.

Today I will share with you the story of Kenny and Kristin's First Christmas. Our celebrations began on the 23rd with just the two of us opening our presents to each other. We pretended like it was really Christmas and had a sleepover in the living room and opened presents first thing in the morning.

Kenny was excited:

And he thought it was funny when he opened his first present and found a Transformers toy:

He also got the one thing he REALLY wanted: a ~~really nerdy~~ really cool game from his awesome wife:

Kristin was also excited.

And was so happy to find that her husband is really good at picking out clothes for her. She also got this necklace that she really really wanted:

For our next celebration we went to Hoytsville, where our Christmas Eve activity was bundling up and sledding down the giant hill behind their house and sleigh-riding with their horses. It was all very picturesque... yet I seem to have forgotten to photograph that part. I do have this very unflattering photo of me on the sleigh with Kenny and Kelsi though:

These are the Browns' gigantic stockings (the green one is for the dog and is regular-sized to show you just how big the others are).

And this is what the present sitation looked like for a family of nine people:

Christmas morning we woke up EARLY and opened presents with Kenny's family and then headed to my parents' cabin in Heber to open presents with my family.

(as you look at these pictures coming up, please try to ignore the not very good quality of the photos I took this weekend--some things seemed more important than making pretty pictures, I guess. :))

(oh and also... be prepared for a lot of Jack...)

(he is laying on the floor with the dog here, if you can't tell):

(and I'm not sure what these next two are about, but they are just funny):

We spent Christmas day and the day after at the cabin and then headed back home to Logan for early church the next morning. This was a great day because I got to wear some of my fancy new clothes my mom gave me:

And Kenny got to play with his new juicer. We made LOTS of juice that day.

OH AND! Yesterday we went to the mall to exchange some shirts I got Kenny (my mom and I got Kenny the exact same sweater at American Eagle...) and I left with this CUTE new coat from Aeropostale. It was 70% off $119.50, which as my human calculator of a husband informed me was only $35 or something. You can't really tell, but it's a navy blue peacoat with a hood. And I loooove it.
