The Crazy Lives of Newlyweds: Holly Jolly Christmas

This year we spent Christmas with my family and it was so much fun! Christmas is always a good time/party at the Ross household! I love the traditions we have. A couple days before Christmas Eve all the girls get together at my aunt's house to make cookies. I wasn't able to do it this year because of work:( but maybe it was a good thing because i tend to eat a lot of the dough mmmm! On Christmas Eve we have a yummy dinner. I think i went back to get more food at least 8 times . . . After dinner is my favorite, my grandpa always shares a Christmas story to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. This year he talked about gratitude and charity. Definitely a good reminder of the things my family has and to be grateful for it. Christmas Eve is where we open pretty much all our presents from my grandparents, cousins, spouse ect. makes for a fun night. On christmas morning we get to see what Santa brought us, i like it because nothing is wrapped its all placed in our little sections. Sean and I got a new luggage set, i got sweats, boots, a cook book, and lotion. Sean got a huge tool set. It was so fun to have my family in town, i don't get to see them very much. Here's some pics of the holiday, Thanks Mal for taking all the pictures! (Fun to see her too, she lives in New York with my sister. Last time i saw her was last Christmas)
