So I know I know I have been the ulitmate blog slacker as of late, with NO pictures and NO fun stories it's because I have been super busy with fun stuff that will hopefully make it to this blog with pictures in due time!
For now, I am going to participate the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop because I love Aly's blog and would love to take part in this!! I also HEART this Holiday so much and can't believe that Lydia's first Holiday season is upon us!!!
DAY 1 Christmas and Holiday Traditions
1. We always spend Christmas Eve with my family. We go to my grandma's where all of the cousins still sit around the living room watching our grandma open her gifts and those that are young enough to still get gifts from gma and their godparents open gifts. Then we EAT while listening to Christmas music and visiting with family that is rarely all in one location anymore!
2. My grandma made our stockings that we had as a kid, she made Matt one to match when we got married and she just finished Lydia's! Love this so much, they are so special.
3. Christmas morning = Jasper Sausage and mom's breakfast casserole and we usually still go to my parents Christmas morning but in order to start our own tradition of Lydia opening gifts at home on Christmas they will be coming over this Christmas morning (don't worry mom is still bringing her yummy bfast!)
4. The last few years we have started the tradition of attending the Christmas Tree lighting the night after Thanksgiving and then hitting up a local bar with friends to celebrate the start of the Holiday Season and most of our family is home, I can't wait to take Lydia to her first Christmas Tree Lighting!!
Head on over to Aly's Blog and Link up. It's time to get in the Christmas Spirit!!
* Nursery Updates/ Bachelorette Party Fun/ Lydia pics to come this week, I hope!!
