First Christmas

We celebrated our first Christmas as a married couple in Colorado just the two of us this year. We were very sad that we couldn't spend it with our family in California, but due to work obligations we couldn't fly home. It turned out to be nice just us. On Christmas Eve we went to Zoo Lights at the Denver Zoo, it was a chilly night but we bundled up and had a good time. On Christmas morning, Erin made Jeremy's favorite recipe from his mom a Jewish coffee cake, and Jeremy made a tradition from Erin's house omelets just like her dad always makes on Christmas morning. After that we opened gifts and talked on the phones with our families. Due to being full we decided to take a break from the eating and we went to the movies and saw Marley and Me. The whole theater was laughing and then crying by the end. If you have ever had a bond with a dog this is a must see. That evening we had another feast, this was Erin's first turkey so she kind-of cheated and bought one from Whole Foods that was already cleaned out and just had to be seasoned and cooked. Erin decided that is the way to go from now on! We finished the night with Erin's moms recipe of Pumpkin Dessert. One of our favorites! We had a great Christmas, but next year we are looking forward to spending it with our families also.
