Christmas Part 1: My family

I was so thankful we got to spend a week with my family before heading out East to celebrate Christmas with Dave's family. This was my first Christmas away from my family so it meant a lot to me that Dave planned lots of time for us to be together when he mapped out the trip. We had a fabulous time decorating candy, watching our favorite holiday movies, and exchanging gifts with one another.

Dave also played a show and did a TV interview and they both were a lot of fun. He played at The Artichoke again, which some of you know is one of our favorite places. Pictures from the interview are coming soon, maybe just on the facebook page, I haven't decided.

Oh and apparently my favorite thing to photograph at my Mom's house is her chihuahua, but she's just so dang cute!

...I just love that little peanut! How cute was she in that Santa hat? She hated us. 

We have fun every year trying to get a good Christmas picture of us all at my Mom's house, there's way too much giggling involved by all. This was what came out this year, sorry John that your eyes are closed, hehe. 

What are some traditions that you all have with your family that get everyone laughing up a storm every year?
