Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Spendloves

We barely had any pictures at Christmas because 1. we mainly took videos because we only have cell phone cameras. 2. When Melissa is around, she takes TONS of pictures and we all benefit. So of course I snatched these from her website. Thank you Melissa. I don't know what we'd do without you. You are awesome.

This was by far our very favorite gift. In school Summer made a beautiful calendar with a hidden picture of her in each month. It is kind of like a "Where is Waldo" book. It touched Stuart and I very much.


After the kids went to bed on Christmas Eve, we had an adult white elephant gift exchange. Mom opened the gift that we brought, which I had wrapped in a red turtle neck sweater (Janna's former sweater, which you probably could use right now living in the cold Upstate New York). It wasn't part of the gift, but I didn't want the real gift to break and when you are poor college kids like us you use whatever you have laying around the house. So any ways, Mom put on the sweater and looked beautiful in it. I had to include this picture because she is always the life of the party and this picture symbolize that for me.
