We have had a rule the last few years since Taryne was born: we spend Christmas morning at home for our own family Christmas. It has worked the past few years, but this year would be different. Since we were going to Texas, there was no way we were going to be able to spend Christmas morning at home as our own little family. So we had our little family Christmas the night before we left.
We had our Christmas breakfast: waffles, sausage and eggs. I decided to make the waffles a little more festive and incorporated an idea from Pinterest. What on earth would we do without Pinterest these days?
I took some pics of Taryne and Hayden and one big group picture earlier in the month with the tree and our snazzy Christmas jammies. Normally we have a group picture after church, but I think we might start the Christmas jammies pic tradition instead. Then it can be silly!
And then it was time to open gifts...

I am so glad we were able to have our own little Christmas, even though it was not on Christmas morning. Hopefully in a few years, we can talk our family into having Christmas at OUR house (where ever we are living) and we can get back to our little tradition. For now, the time we get to have Christmas as our own little family is priceless...no matter what day it happens.
