After a quick Christmas Eve session at the gym we headed home to have a Christmas Eve breakfast with Jess' parents. It was delicious and a wonderful start to the days festivities!
I spent the rest of the afternoon prepping for Christmas Day, then Jess and I ran a couple of errands then proceeded to gear up for the Christmas Eve dinner we have at his parents house.
Once all the presents were opened and everyone went home to tuck away until Santa's arrival, we packed and got everything ready so we could head out the early the next morning.
Like always I can't ever sleep Christmas Eve and was up at 3:41am just in time to hear the big storm roll in. I laid there for the next 2 hours hoping and praying it would stop so we could get on the road by 6 and luckily it did. We left right on time!
We arrived at my parents house a little before 8am and were ready to start the days activities!
After a long afternoon nap I awoke to start our Christmas dinner. This year we decided to do "finger foods" in hopes of not eating until we absolutely busted! This year like every other year it didn't work. The spread was nice and we enjoyed every last bite. I tried a few new recipes and am glad that I did because now I think they will be added to our "Football Saturday" regiment.
We ended our night with the "Hunger Games" movie. My parents and sister had never seen it so that was a good excuse for me and Jess to get to watch it again since we liked it so much.
Needless to say our families were so blessed this holiday season and we are so fortunate to be able to spend this wonderful time with them both. I hope all of you enjoyed the holiday and were able to see your loved ones.
I hope y'all enjoy this last week of 2012 and get ready to gear up for 2013! Have a happy Friday tomorrow!
Love,
E
