Christmas 2012

This holiday was a bit interesting. I was able to spend all my time with my family rather than split it with Taylor's because sadly, his whole family had the flu. So horrible - to be sick over Christmas. 

My family has the same traditions. Each year our Christmas Eve and Christmas is pretty similar. If you look through my blog of the past years the pictures are pretty much the same. Our food is the same (and it is AMAZING!) and pretty much everything is wonderful at Christmas time. 

My family loves to dress up for Christmas. We've done onesies, fur hats, scarfs, Christmas sweaters... and this year we all dressed up in either all red or all green.
