Christmas 2009

The Williams family certainly has a way to celebrate Christmas- the whole family gets together, even Antony's grandmother from Wales comes over, there is a lot of food and a LOT of presents. Now that I think about it, this is probably how most people spend Christmas, but it feels new to me since traditions in my family slowly died out towards the end. (We didn't even put up a Christmas tree for the last years.) Well, Antony has turned out to be quite the thoughtful husband; I have realized many times to my delightful surprise that he carefully listens to the things that I like or want, and makes a fabulous present out of them. For example:


 

a FANTASTIC pair of eccos! I love how comfortable these shoes are and the fact that you can polish them over and over again, and they look like new every time. THANK YOU Antony, I wear them every day for work and I think of you with every step I take ;)

Even though I was surprised with the shoes, Antony always finds a way to top it off with something even more unexpected:





A GPS to replace the one that was STOLEN from my car 2 weeks prior! I cannot tell you enough how much I liked having a GPS, (it means a lot for a person like me that never knows where North is) so it was nice to know that I wouldn't have to go long without one.  THANK YOU again, Antony, I would be lost without you ;)

 Here are some pictures of our Christmas holiday:

Las Vegas 2009

Talk about family traditions....! Antony's family spends Thanksgiving in Las Vegas every year, and I love it. :) Here are some pictures of this year's trip. They usually try to see a show as well; this year it was the Lion King show.
