Christmas Eve is always spent with Chris' mom's side of the family, we eat, visit, go to church, come back to eat again and end with night with a round of white elephant. Chase is a very loved baby boy and left with lots of fun new ornaments, puzzles and stuffed animals from his great aunts and uncles. As always it is great spending a day with people you love.
For all the years Chris and I have married we have always spent Christmas Eve at either his parents or mine, but always said that once we had kids we would wake up Christmas Day in our own home. Since we were here in Houston my family came to us this year to share Chase's 1st Christmas. They drove in Thursday night only to arrive to a very dark house, the heavy winds caused our electricity to go out on Christmas Eve! We made the most of the situation and used the fireplace and candles for light until the power came back on about 2 hours after they got here. I was a bit irritated but very thankful it came back on so quickly. We spent Christmas Day exchanging gifts and watching Chase play with all of his new things and enjoyed a yummy dinner of ham, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, corn casserole, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce prepared by me! Chase soaked up all the attention, hugs and kisses from Nana, Papaw, aunt Megan and Joe.
