Christmas Eve

Both mine and Hays' family have big Christmas traditions on Christmas Eve so the first year we were married we flipped a coin to see where we were going for Christmas Eve and have switched back and forth every year since. This has worked for us so far. We will see how much longer we do this with Olivia. I have a feeling I will be doing some major compromising when she can grasp the whole concept of Santa Claus.

This year we were in Jackson with Hays' family for Christmas Eve and traveled to Memphis to be with my family on Christmas morning. It was special to have Olivia's first Christmas at home. We went to Hays' aunts house to have dinner after going to our church for the Christmas Eve service. Olivia was a little tuckered out at the end of the night to say the very least.

Olivia liked the tissue paper more than her actual gifts...typical.
