Christmas in the Carolinas
Posted by Patrick on Monday, December 25, 2006Despite moving over 700 miles from our homeland, we've been pretty social during this holiday season. We've been to 3 parties and were fed Christmas dinner tonight! We've been pretty lucky. We also got to video conference with our families, which was fun. Skype is good stuff. It's still a little strange to be living so far away, but we had a high quality holiday none the less.
We awoke this morning and had cinnamon rolls, coffee and some eggnog and exchanged presents by the fire. Our first Christmas in a house that's our own! I got Kate a bird feeder (with solar powered LED lights!), some crafting stuff, authentic New England Dunkin Donuts coffee, and some tasty stocking stuffers.
Kate made me a topper for our Christmas tree! When we were shopping for a Christmas tree topper before I mentioned to Kate that I thought it would be cool to have a rocket ship on top of the tree. Kate got all crafty and combined my goofy vision of Christmas rockets with my longtime love of robots.
She also made me me a new wallet! 
Amongst other fabulous prizes, Kristen and Josh got us a first aid kit and a home improvement book. Hopefully one won't be directly involved with the other.
My folks, mailed us a reminder of the colder temperatures we left up north.
Tomorrow Kate's Mom and husband are stopping by!
