Christmas Day 2013

Christmas Day we spent at my parents house. It was a seriously beautiful day. Like beautiful outside and beautiful to spend the day with people we love so much and are proud and thankful everyday for.

Every year, that Christmas is at my parents house, my mom will host an all day open house. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come by for some delicious snacks and fun cocktails, wine and/or champagne. This year was a pretty quiet year - it seemed like most people were out of town - but the important people were definitely around! Rich's parents and sister/friend arrive around noon after staying the night at Grandma's house. We had to get some family/group shots in before we forgot/people had to head out. 

 

 

 

About mid afternoon, Christine and her mom and Laura came over for some snacks and Champagne. After we all caught up we decided, like any other event at my parents house, to play a game. We played a few rounds of Taboo with my mom guessing for both teams. It was a ton of fun! We all laughed until our stomachs hurt!

The gals left for their perspective Christmas dinners and another family came over for a crab feast. Crab, garlic bread and more wine was enjoyed by all! We spent the night at home and I had to go into work the next day. Fortunately it was pretty quiet, which was definitely what we all needed in our department!
