Jon and I were able to go to Rhode Island and spend time with his family for Christmas and New Years. Several days after arriving in Rhode Island a huge snow storm came and it was just what I imagined New England to look like in the winter. It was beautiful.
So this was our first christmas together and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was fun to see the kind of traditions Jon's family has. It made me wonder what kind of traditions Jon and I will have in the future.

On New Year's Eve Jon's family has a tradition to run around the house carrying items that represent what they want for the new year. This is a tradition they follow through with every year despite there being inches of snow on the ground. Oh and did i mention you do this barefoot. Yes i know, crazy. This was something that i knew i needed to participate in at least once. Despite my valiant effort I only made it around half the house. Jon, however made it twice around.

You look cute in all the pictures. Have I said that I really like you in bangs? It's a great look for you.
I would never have made it around the house barefoot in that snow. I'm impressed you got around even once. Then again, your stamina has always put mine to shame.
Good Times!!! Rebecca you are such a trooper to even have tried going around the house! It's a crazy tradition--but what would you expect from our fam but Crazy!! It was fun having you guys for Christmas!
