Christmas 2008 was a bit of a first for the Bains....our first Christmas without family around!!! Dave's vacation happened to be the week before Christmas, so we made the 11 hour drive to Alabama (after heavily drugging Sydney, of course) to spend time with both of our families. We had a great time visiting with friends and family and enjoyed the 70 degree weather! Back home in Cville for Christmas actually ended up being great! Dave was off on Christmas Eve and I only worked half a day, thank goodness. We spent our Christmas Eve eating spaghetti, going to church, and then heading to a local Italian restaurant for coffee and tiramisu. Mmmmm. Christmas Day was a lot of fun - we got up and ate breakfast, opened stocking gifts from each other, and then headed over to the Henrys for a delicious Christmas Day lunch and lots of fun playing board games. So, all in all, we had a great Christmas!
In other news, the Wilhoite family is gearing up for another wedding! Marion got engaged on December 23 while visiting Jason's (the fiance) family in Michigan!! We are so excited for them both!!! Looks like the wedding will be Memorial Day weekend 2010 after Marion graduates from nursing school. She's chosen to get married in Huntsville, AL where we both grew up. A fabulous choice!!! Looking forward to having a new brother-in-law!!!!
