It’s Christmas!

Well, it WAS Christmas a while ago. Due to my unexpected hiatus from the blogging world, I’m just now getting around to blogging pictures from my mom’s family’s Christmas get together at my parents’ house on Christmas Eve. Now, normally, I would have just let it go since it’s so close to Easter but I love Christmas so darn much! Looking at these pictures just makes me happy 🙂

The real tree my mom decorated herself. She was pretty proud of it and was so excited to try a purple theme this year.

Above the fireplace were my mom’s Santa’s From Around the World. She collects them.

My little second cousin. Isn’t he a cutie?

For the first Christmas…ever… my family opted to have BBQ instead of the traditional ham or turkey. No fear, the desserts were nothing but Christmas!
