I packed away our tree and all things Christmas the same day our local Target Starbucks handed me a WHITE cup. White?! Wait a minute, December's not over yet... why are you out of Red cups already?! That day, a part of me died inside as I sipped on my chestnut praline latte. Eleven more months till Carsit and all the decorations return...
CHRISTMAS EVE.
I'm going to miss this crooked tree
Didn't do a good job hiding the selfie stick... whoops!
Christmas Eve with cousins
Making gingerbread houses with cousins

CHRISTMAS DAY.
Turned on a Christmas movie while the parents snoozed a bit longer

I can't believe Christmas is actually gone. We did a lot of driving to the Peninsula and back. The lack of a long enough nap time took a toll on Char. Christmas was fun... but also very busy. Dan and I made prime rib for the first time ever. I'll give it a B-. After our first ever attempt, we already learned how the tweak the next prime rib.
Christmas is also full of traditions. Besides going to Bethlehem every year, two other important traditions for our family is visiting Po Po's grave site on Christmas and also Christmas in the Park.

Why did we pay for this when we have membership to HH?!
Cuz it makes these kiddos happy!
And tomorrow, we take our short little vacation up North to hopefully see snow and build a snowman for the kiddos. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
