Christmas with the Kranks, I mean, Keelers.

Sorry it's been soooooo long since our last post.  No real excuse, life has just gotten away from us and since Alec doesn't write blogs without days of research, here I am again.  (Apparently the deal this time is he will make my lunch if I write the blog...)

As this is our first year being married, it only makes sense that it's a year of firsts for us...during the Christmas season alone, it was my first Christmas away from my family, second (but first I can remember) Christmas in California, first Christmas Eve service (heathen, I know) and first non-traditional Christmas meal on Christmas Eve.  But alongside these superficial firsts, it was also my first Christmas with TWO families filled with the love of Christ welcoming Alec and me with open arms, homes, and hearts.  I am so blessed to have not just one, but two families that want to spend time together and that love both Alec and me. 

Keeler Christmas was full of board games, laughs, basketball and volleyball, rain, babies (just one, actually, Cody who really needs another baby to come along so he doesn't continue to think the world revolves around him), love, and most importantly time together as a family.

Here are a few pictures from our Redding excursion, pictures from Colorado are pending as we are just about to get on the plane to head there.  Much love to my in-law family who is so much more wonderful than I could have ever asked for.
