Frank and I celebrated our holiday together on Christmas Eve evening and Christmas Day was spent with the family. However... we did give McGraw and Kayla their gifts Christmas Eve afternoon...
Frank and I got some really awesome gifts from each other as well as his parents. There were very sweet and generous to have sent us gifts... that we will definitely enjoy!
On Christmas Day we went to my parents house early in the morning to open gifts with Zane (my nephew). He was so excited for all of the gifts from his Mom, grandparents, aunts and even Santa! Here are a few photos of his morning:
After the excitement settled, Hilary, Frank and I prepared breakfast for the family... biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, waffles, muffins... YUM!! "Traditionally" my dad makes breakfast on the holidays with pancakes, eggs, bacon, etc. For some reason, he decided to sit this year out! Hopefully this is not the NEW tradition...
Following the fulfillment of breakfast... we moved into the living room and played our tradition of the Chinese Gift Exchange. Consisting of drawing a number and picking a gift or stealing a gift until all numbers have palyed out! I was excited to end with four large variety bags of my favorite candy... M&Ms!!
A few of us decided to go the movies... watched "We Bought a Zoo". HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT... very sweet and loving movie. I could see the kids enjoying it as well.
The evening was a litle less eventful with a light dinner and a game and then home we went... and in the bed! Overall... it was a great day spending time with family and just being in each others presence. That's the best tradition that we can have!
