Instead of going to visit both sets of parents before we left for Florida. We had them over to our house for some appetizers and gifts. I stole the idea from my sister. Her family has the tradition of doing appetizers on Christmas Eve. It was really good, and really easy. We will probably do that every year now! I was glad that we could get together and see them before we left.
The Food!
We had spinach dip, salsa, cheese ball, little weinies wrapped in bacon and brown sugar, pie, shrimp, buffalo wings, and apple cider..... YUM!!! My mom kept giving Ry cherry pie- she was in heaven!
Opening gifts with the grandparents. They spoiled Ry and us!
We did our own Christmas after everyone left.
Santa brought a sled, a stroller, everyone new sweatshirts, a temple picture, and filled Ry's stocking with books, socks, beanie, mittens, and headbands. Chase and I gave her some movies, books, a Cabbage Patch Kid ( which she is scared of), clothes, and Jamas. She was so tired by the time we started opening them that it wasn't even fun. I had this whole thing pictured how it was going to go. We would take a cute picture in front of all her gifts in her new jamas. She would smile, and it would be so cute. then she would LOVE her Cabbage Patch Kid and laugh, and want to play with it. Then we would get a cute family pictures in our new Christmas Jamas by all our gifts and it would be PERFECT!!!!! Reality- Rylee hadn't napped all day so she was done by 8 that night. She screamed when I put her jamas on her. She hated her Cabbage Patch, she screamed then too. We didn't get a family picture, and the only picture of her is one with her eyes all red cause she had been screaming! There is always next year right!
We had a pretty smal Christmas this year, but it was a good one.
