A Story Behind the Picture – Our First Christmas

Today I wanted to link up with sweet Elle for a Story Behind the Picture!

1

This picture was taken in November of 2010. We had just moved in together a few months backย and were putting together our first Christmas tree as a couple.

Christmas Day 2010-We were taking pictures at my dad’s house and Chris kept making funny faces when I would take the picture…

So I thought I would make a funny face too, except he didn’t…

We finally got our shit together to take a normal photo…

When we went over to my mom’s house we had taken some pictures in the snow. When we tried to take a selfie, Chris decided to photobomb with a snowball to my face. You can see it coming to the left!

Hilarious, that one…you can see his evil grin and everything! Hahahaha

I will never forget our first Christmas together because we had two new nephews (both his sister and my sister had babies a month apart!) and it snowed on Christmas! Something that is so very rare here in Alabama. Christmas is our favorite season and it is such a special time of year. I will forever cherish these photos and I look back at them every year around this time and just smile. He is still making me laugh.

Thanks Elle for hosting this wonderful link up! I hope you do it again next month because I already have some pictures picked out for it!!! Spoiler alert, they are from Christmas pasts as well!

    This was so sweet! I love that you have so many from that year and all the fun you can tell you are having with those funny faces. It really is special to look back, especially this time of year!

    Hahaha, these are great- especially the snowball one! Sometimes the outtakes are the ones you remember more than the “nice/normal” one; I need to stop deleting them! You guys look like you have a lot of fun together ๐Ÿ™‚

    The snowball to the face is fantastic! This reminds me that I should try to dig up some pictures from our first Christmas that we were actually in the same place (I think we dated for a couple of years before we spent any holiday together). So long ago!

    You guys are super cute .
