Christmas was great this year. Last Christmas I was on my mission. It was hard being away from home but being back this year makes it even more special. The only down fall was Logan wasn't here. The highlight of Christmas was definitely when we got to Skype him. Its awesome to see how much he has grown and how amazing his testimony is. He is a great example to me!
We have so many traditions its always so fun every year. I think thats why the anticipation is too much sometimes. Waiting all year to only get to do these fun things once is so sad. But then again it makes it more enjoyable.
Every Christmas eve we get to open one present..its always pj's. This Christmas Eve we all got together. We ate Chinese food like every
Christmas Eve and read the nativity story. I got all the kids these pop
guns from Cabelas and got them "redneck hats". It was so cute to see
them run around so excited. We talked about our new goals for the year and what we were most grateful for this past year. It is always fun with family. On Christmas day we normally record ourselves walking down the stairs early in the morning. We have done it ever since we were little but now that everyone is so old we are planning on changing the tradition till we have little kids of our own.
On Christmas morning we wake up and have a big breakfast. Grits, eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, and biscuits. Its so yummy. We then mosey on over to the family room and open up presents. I will say it is ten times more special when there is little children around, there is something so magical about their innocence and ability to Believe. Its nice having this time together though (all of us single). It wont last forever so we are taking advantage of it. Needless to say this Christmas was so much fun.
XOXO, Becca
