Christmas in California

Marcus and I went to Modesto for one week and then we went to Sacramento for another week. We were really glad that we got to see both of our families... it is very convenient having our parents an hour and a 1/2 away from each other. We love it! We were able to get together with Marcus' dads' sister and all of her kids for Christmas Eve. We had a nativity scene and a gift exchange, and of course lots of family pictures. We had so much fun there. Christmas Eve we drove to Sacramento. We had fun opening presents and spending time with family the rest of the day. On New Years Eve Marcus and I went to my friend Stephanie's house and spent the evening with her and her husband. The trip was fun and we liked being away from cold Idaho... but, now we're back and working on another semester of classes. Actually, it's my last semester of classes, then I student teach in the fall and also graduate in the fall! Marcus will just have one more year after me. We are really enjoying life and being married!
