On Christmas Eve we went to Josh's brother's house and had dinner with his family. That same night we went to my sister's house and had more food. I have a big family and so, inevitably, we end up splitting some of our holidays. It was a lot of fun seeing both of our families. We didn't get home until about 11:30 and didn't get to bed until even later. The next morning, I woke up at about 7:30 to set up our stockings. Our little tree with our and stockings are so pathetic looking...it's like a Charlie Brown Christmas. I love it though, and I'm so excited to start more traditions with our own little family :) Every Christmas Josh's family opens presents together and have a family brunch with some of his extended family. We had to be there at 9 (we were early though! ;) ) and ended up spending most of the day there. We hadn't planned on doing that, everyone just ended up staying. For the past year, Josh's mom has been hard at work converting their home videos to DVDs for us for Christmas. We watched one of them that day with the whole family; it was awesome to see Josh and his brothers as kids! They were totally stylin' with their mullets and neon green wind breakers! ;) Anyway, here are some pictures.
Our attempt at a family photo.
Me a bit irritated with Josh & explaining why it's not funny when he makes stupid faces in pictures.
