It's been a tradition in my family to spend Christmas Eve together opening presents and eating homemade chicken enchiladas. I absolutely love our tradition because it's like getting an extra day of celebration. This year we spent Christmas Eve at my parent's house and it turned out perfectly. Brent and I made a warm fire, Jerod and Kaci held on to their presents patiently waiting to open them and Santa made a surprise visit this year!! Love and laughter was abundant and I am truly blessed to have such a warm and loving family!!

Christmas at Vicki & Dave's
Brent and I made our way to Vicki and Dave's on Christmas Eve night to spend the night and celebrate Christmas morning with them, Grams, Peeps and Bradley. I woke up Christmas morning and before I could even get out of bed, I was greeted with a warm cup of hot chocolate. My heart melted right away, it made me feel so special!! I followed my nose to the kitchen where breakfast was waiting. Grams and Vicki are amazing cooks and their breakfast started the day off perfectly. After breakfast, we took a few pictures outside to make sure we captured our "White Christmas". It was so wonderful opening presents with the white glow shining through the windows. After opening all our presents we quickly headed home to shower up and make our way to Brent's aunt Shelia's for a yummy Christmas lunch!!

Christmas at John & Kathy's
Brent and I ended Christmas day at his dad and Kathy's house for an early dinner and presents. Kathy fixed a delicious meal including steak, mashed potatoes, green been casserole and the best dinner rolls. I wish I had more room in my stomach at the time, but luckily there were left over’s for me to take home. We opened presents, laughed and shared memories for the rest of the evening. I love celebrating Christmas with my family and I can't wait till next year!!!
