Christmas Eve dinner was at our house. Since we got married I have always hosted Christmas Eve dinner for whatever family is around and wants to come. This year it was a small group but it was very relaxing! This year’s dinner was two different soups, corn bread muffins and salad. (I am still trying to nail down a dinner tradition for this holiday, feel free to share your suggestions and family traditions.) We then went to see some Christmas lights at a few houses here around town and then came back home for warm cookies and milk.
Christmas morning was Randy, Rhett and I at home. I love Christmas morning! And not because of the presents, there is just something special about it. In fact Christmas morning was pretty dull at our house this year. Rhett got a few books from us this year. We totally jipped him since he doesn't know any better. And no presents for Randy and I. We decided to take advantage of the after Christmas sales this year and score ourselves some much needed new electronics for great prices. You will soon see much better pictures on my blog as I FINALLY got a new camera! Hallelujah! We also got a video camera so we can join the club of really annoying parents and capture family video! It is kind of a right of passage right? Every parent has to do it.
The rest of the day was spent between both my mom's and Randy's mom's seeing all the sisters, brother and cousins! Christmas is a busy day for us but very fun!

(This is Randy "watching" Rhett for me while I got a few things together for the day. Great "watching"! Good thing he was entertained by the cartoons and didn't move!)
