I love family traditions, it is so fun, and it is great to get together with everyone and enjoy the holidays! This year Christmas Eve was at my uncle Joe's house. We had a great time, enjoyed each other's company, laughed, played games, shed some tears, and just had a great time! Family is so important to us, we are so blessed to have such a close family! My family went to church at 6 p.m. for mass, then we went over to the Cullers for posole and tamales!
Here are some pictures of our evening.
My little musical boy Jeremiah was getting a free concert from Spencer. It was the cutest thing ever, I had to take his picture! Spencer was just playing away and signing, and my mom was holding Jeremiah, and that boy was just dancing, and just watching Spencer play that guitar! It was so cute, this lasted for a good 15 minutes! SO SO CUTE!
Here are my kid's putting on the Christmas story. They were the only kids this year, so Amiah was Mary, and Aiden was Joseph. Jeremiah was just every where, screaming, and just loving the attention.
Here they are just listening to the story being told.
Aiden trying to keep Jeremiah from running all over the place!
After the Story we sing songs, and then we open a Christmas Gift that night. Usually we draw names and exchange gifts. But this year we decided to do a white elephant gift exchange. It was so funny! There were some cool gifts, and some odd gifts...and a whole bunch of snuggies! The kids just got a present from the Cullers and Valerios, then all the adults participated in the WHGE.
Misty by far got the most exciting! (Thanks to Jonathan!) {It was a humping dog!}
Here's Ronnie sporting his snuggie, and a cool light!
Once your name was called you could either pick a present from the middle or have a chance to steal a gift from someone else. Apparently Grandma Milly didn't want anyone taking her Snuggie! She was hiding it under her legs! She is 96 years old! We love spending Christmas Eve with her, that is part of our tradition!
Happy Holiday's Everyone!
