On Christmas Eve we went to Juanita's house. Every year Chris' side of the family has a huge get together on Christmas Eve. This year was special for the obvious reason-it being Nick's 1st Christmas. It was also special this year because there are two other little ones who are now walking around, Landon and Kate.
Chris and I decided to try out what might become a tradition-of staying the night over there and waking up on Christmas day to open gifts with Nana-Nita! It was great. We woke up had biscuits and gravy and eggs and Coffee!!!! Nick did great too!!! We then go to my moms house for Christmas day! This was great too(besides the fact that we missed my sister and brother dearly)! My side of the family does a mexican theme for Christmas and my mom every year gives us a Nutcracker as a gift and it is always exciting to see which one she got us for the year! She also started a tradition for her grandkids(Nick is the 1st and only right now)a little german pickle ornament. She is going to get her grandchildren a pickle on their 1st Christmas and on Christmas morning they are supposed to find the pickle hidden on the Christmas tree and if they do find it they recieve an extra gift from Gramma!!!!
My Grandma also made Nick a stocking!!!! She made me and my siblings a stocking when we were little and it really meant so much to me that she made one for him!
We then went back to Juanita's house to see Andy, Steph and the girls to eat another dinner and open gifts-but before that we had to make one last stop!
My cousin Michael proposed to his girlfriend Mariah! Since they live near Juanita-we stopped by to congratulate them!
