Well, it is always a little sad when the holidays are over and all the decorations get put away for 11 more months, but on the positive side of things, we have a brand new year to look forward to!
We had a great Christmas this year! We started out celebrating the 23rd by going to my Dad's cousin's house. We had the most amazing homemade taquitos and then ate desserts while we had a fun (and funny) time doing Christmas karaoke! When we finally burned out on that, we played "Around the World" Ping Pong. We had so much fun that we didn't get home until midnight. (My mom had so much fun that she bought a ping pong table the day after Christmas!)
Christmas Eve my family came over for dinner and we played games. We also had our traditional gingerbread cake with whipped cream and bananas!
Christmas Day was a marathon for us! We woke up and did Christmas just the 2 of us. Then we got ready and went to my parents' house. We exchanged gifts and had brunch with them. Then we changed and went to church with them because Lucas's sister was singing in their ward. (She did a beautiful job!) Then we went straight from church to Lucas's parents' house. We had a Mexican themed dinner with his family and exchanged gifts. We visited with everyone and took a Fannin family photo. It was a long, but great day!
Now as we begin the new year we look back at all the blessings we have received in 2011. We truly feel blessed to have each other and we look forward to what 2012 will bring!
