On Christmas Eve we had a few of our friends from church over to work on a 1500 piece puzzle, eat dessert and hang out. It was nice for all of us to get to hang out with friends (especially those of us who are very far from our families)!
Matt and I had a very relaxing Christmas Day. We had gotten each other Nooks for Christmas, so we spent the day hanging out at the house and reading mostly!

For New Year's we hosted the first annual Puzzleoff!! We bought three puzzles, had some friends over, divided into three groups and raced to see who could finish the puzzle first (and we had prizes for the winners). I have to say I believe this was a hit and will probably become a tradition in the Cornett household!
Jen, Ryan, Cameronn, Emily and John got first place!
Sarah, Devin, Tami, Kate and Aaron got second place.
Sadly our team got third, but we had a blast!
Marianke, Courtney, Eli, Matt, me and Aiden :)
I got to hold Aiden a lot while doing the puzzle, which was fun!
The guys bought a few fireworks and put on a little show for us afterwards!
We had a great time bringing in the new year with friends!!
Our driveway is notoriously difficult to get up and down! So, the next day, Jen slid down the driveway into the snowbank at the bottom of the driveway. Thankfully it wasn't stuck too bad. They managed to get it out with a few snow shovels!
New Year's Day was a gorgeous day! It was COLD, but pretty clear and crisp. Beautiful.
It was a good start to the New Year. Matt and I are looking forward to what God has in store for us this year. He has taught us so much through many different difficult, sad, and joyous situations and we are anxious to see where He will take us this next year as we are getting out of the military in about 10 months!
