This Christmas was very special to us. It happened to be our first Christmas spent as Mr. and Mrs. McVay. We started the holiday wanting it to be special and including everybody that we could. Our first stop was Enid, OK! We spent Christmas Eve with my huge side of the family at my Grandma Jackie's home. There we enjoyed homemade pumpkin soup, breads, and the traditional oyster soup! We played a new game called, left-left-right-right and, of course, the always interesting dirty santa where the coveted items of the night were a wooden wine rack and sample pack of KY lubricant! I ended up with a beautiful Tiara crystal table set for 8 from my Grandma Jackie, and Kit got a ratchet set! Then we woke up Christmas morning at my parent's house and enjoyed the traditional cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate. We opened our stockings and even our little four-legged child Zeus had his own! This year Kit and I wanted to start our collection of home videos, so we decided our first Christmas was worth capturing. We filmed everyone opening their presents then interviewed my parents on their memory of their first married Christmas!
Then off we were for round two with the McVays in OKC! We were just in time to share an awesome Christmas lunch feast with his parents, grandparents and aunt. After lunch we opened gifts and continued our filming! When the time came to interview the McVays on their first Christmas, it took them awhile, but they finally remembered their very interesting story with some help from Aunt Diann. :) We also had the wonderful opportunity to interview Kit's grandparent's on their story as well. It's times like these that Kit and I will look back and cherish; and times like these spent story telling at dinner and memories of Christmases past with family and friends that truly make the holiday so lovely. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and made some amazing memories with friends and family!!
