Christmas 2011

Christmas this year was SO much fun! No, Luke isn't old enough to understand the true meaning of Christmas, but we sure had a great time celebrating his first. I loved watching him open his presents, stand on the boxes and babble on to his new toys! It makes me really excited for the coming years and the time when we can truly celebrate Jesus' birthday!

Christmas Eve was spent at Nick's grandparents house. It is always a great time! Nick's entire family(he has a huge family) was there and it was so nice to be with family! We had great Mexican foods for dinner and yummy deserts! Luke was spoiled like crazy from all of Nick's family. I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives!

Christmas day we spent with Nick's dad's side of the family. We had lunch/dinner over at his cousins house. It was a lot of fun! I think his dad really appreciated that we spent Christmas with him this year. It is so nice to see how much he appreciated us being there and celebrating with him.

I did not spend Christmas with my side of the family this year. I had a hard time at first with this thought, especially since my family goes up to our cabin every year, but I got over it! I have my family of 3 right now that comes first, and I was completely content being with my boys and Nick's side of the family!!

I am a huge believer/fan of traditions and missed my yearly traditions with my extended family, but it was SO much fun to start new little traditions with my little family!

All in all we had a wonderful Christmas season with lots of fun, food, presents, celebrations and laughs!!

I hope yours was just as wonderful!

( I just realized how very few pictures I actually took on Christmas. I guess we were having too much fun, and Luke is crawling everywhere I can't get a face shot of him, lol)
