Christmas!!!

For Christmas this year, we stayed home. It was our first Christmas together as a family, so that was exciting. We originally thought it would be fun to go to Cali to visit Tony's family, however that didn't work out, plus Tony had to work on Christmas day, soooo... we just stayed home!
Christmas Eve, my brother, his wife, and kids, came over for movies, and treats! We watched Step-Brothers, and The Bad News Bears, and then played X-Box 360. When it was almost bedtime, we sat the kids down to read a Christmas story, then they each opened one present. Before my brother left, I pulled out the laptop and began tracking santa so the kids could see where he was! It was really neat, and the kids really enjoyed seeing santa flying over the ocean.
On Christmas day, Tony woke us up at 3:15 so that we could open presents before he had to leave. We must have been good, because Santa brought us some really awesome gifts, and everyone got just what they wanted.
After opening the presents, we all went back to bed, while Tony went to work. After Tony got home, we went to my ex-husband's sisters house for Christmas dinner. I know it is weird, but they invited us, and since we have no family out here besides my brother, we gladly accepted!!!
After dinner, we went to go see a movie, a family tradition that we have done since I was little. We saw bedtime stories, with Adam Sandler. It was hilarious!
All in all it was the best first Christmas I could have asked for.
Hope you all have a Happy New Year!!!
