Christmas Day Festivities 2013

Christmas day was super busy and super nice :)

Tommy and I woke up early and came downstairs to open our stockings. I got us new ones this year, and there's a spot for a picture in the front of it, but I didn't get around to that, OOPS. Maybe next year. 

Santa gave us some gooooood stuff in our stockings so it was fun to open! Then we opened our presents to each other. Santa set Tommy's up (it was a weight lifting bench) and left it next to the tiny tree, and I already knew mine from Santa: Snow boots and a new winter jacket, both on order from Nordstroms, lol. Way to go Santa!

Then we got ready and went to Tommy's parent's house for a Christmas morning breakfast and gift exchange. We had french toast, and got to give each other our presents! After hanging out and talking for a while, we all headed out to go to Tommy's aunt's house. We got there just in time for the large family photo in the living room. I don't have any of these photos because they are taken on a real camera on a tripod every year, and some how we never get to see them! I should look into that...

Tommy and I stayed for a little bit, but every year we leave right before dinner to make it to my house for dinner with the Lacio+ clan. It's my favorite time of year because Katy and Buck are in from California for multiple days, and we make a fire and get to sit around and chat. Also, my family eats late, and then we open presents with the immediate family after everyone leaves, which ends up being at like 11:30ish. After it all, we hang out for a little longer, and then end up leaving on December 26th, lol. It seems late, and it is, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Katy and Buck came back to our house after mom and dad's and made up breakfast in the morning. SCORE, because they make good breakfasts.

Overall, Christmas 2013 was another good one :) My only complaint is that we didn't get to play some weird or fun new game that Buck got for Christmas about Zombies. We really dropped the ball on that one guys...but I feel very blessed that we have gotten to celebrate with so much family together for so many years!
