Old Soul, Young Heart

After walking in, we went right into speeches. My aunt Peggy was up first. Poor thing didn't have her reading glasses, so she couldn't see what she wrote! But she said some super sweet things. :) Michele was up next. Bringing up watching hockey again haha. Love her. Then Trey went. I think this pic was taken when he said something about the only time Philip went rollerblading by himself was when he met me at the skatepark haha. I love this picture because of how wide open and awkward my eyes are and how hilarious Brooke looks. Awe... hugging after the semi-emotional best man speech. :) Let's get this party started! Looking back, I wish that Philip or I would've said something to the group about thanks for coming and spending the time with us. I think it's always nice when the couple says something before people dive into food. I had thought about it ahead of time, but knew that I'd be nervous for it and I had already had enough...

Christmas was good! We had our usual schedule--I went to the Bourque's on Christmas Eve, stayed and opened gifts with his parents on Christmas morning, and then we went to my aunt's Christmas afternoon, and me and Philip had our Christmas together Christmas evening. It's kind of a lot; I can't imagine what the holidays are like when you have double the parents to visit or if you have kids. We had a good meal Christmas Eve in Hanna City and we opened gifts with the girls (Philip's nieces, Briana and Faith). I was pretty nervous because I had put a little something together to ask them to be our flower girls. Opening gifts with Briana and Faith is kind of chaotic because they have so many presents to open. I was afraid that my gifts would get lost and/or it wouldn't be that big of a deal to them, but I wanted it to be memorable. I was so happy because it went just as I wanted it to go... Briana started opening her gift before Faith did, so I had to slow her do...
