After our flight touched down in Mobile, Eric had my best friend Brittany in the whole world waiting to pick us up. After we hugged for an hour we jumped in her car and she drove us over to my aunt's house where my dad and my brother's were waiting unexpectedly for my arrival. It also happened to be my dad's family Christmas party so we got to surprise everybody all at the same time and let Eric meet everyone almost. My dad's side of the family is kinda like my big fat greek wedding so it might have been a lot to take in at first but he won them over fast with his charm, and the meer fact that he brought me home for Christmas. My dad cried and I hadn't seen my little brother Aaron since before he went to Afghanistan so it was great to see him too. After the party we finally made it home to my mom's house and Eric and I opened presents with her and then went to bed.
The next morning was church and once again Eric was overwhelmed with people wanting to meet him. My old Bishop from my home ward even called us into his office so he could have a one on one with us. hahahahahaha a little scary but good! Then after church we drove over to my cousin's house for the Christmas party. It was great.
