This Christmas was very low key for us and it was quite nice! We drove down to my parents' on Christmas Eve and got stuck in a snow drift 1/2 a mile from their house. Once that was over we just relaxed and opened presents once the boys got in from hunting.
Every year my grandma buys a "gag" gift that one of the guys ends up with. This year Dad was the lucky recipient of this B-E-A-UTIFUL Christmas ornament. His face says it all! 
I know y'all have seen the three of us before, but here's a shot of Mom, Gma and me. The dress I'm wearing is a Christmas gift from the hubs. 
Mi familia.
This is my grandparents' cat, Skittles. I thought it was so cute that he was sunbathing on the festive bench.
The next morning we got around and headed to my grandparents' house. We did Mexican food for lunch since we did a HUGE traditional meal at Thanksgiving. The food was yummy and the clean up was SO MUCH EASIER than usual!

Me and Marty. He was less than enthused about taking pictures that day.
We are having a small cousin get together at our house tonight. We are just having appetizers and playing games. That being said, do y'all try and stick with a theme when doing appetizers? For example, all Italian or something? I don't know why, but for some reason I think the food should "go together", but I've had the hardest time planning what to make.
We leave Thursday for Wichita Falls where we will celebrate New Year's Eve with one of my besties from college and then Friday morning we will drive the rest of the way to Marty's parents' house in East Texas.
So, in case this is my last post of 2009, y'all have a very safe and Happy New Year and I'll see you in 2010!

I don't think you have to have a "theme" just maybe finger foods!d
I love to spice it up. Some people dont like certain types of food you know? I throw a little bit of everything out there and everyone seems to appreciate it :0)
I usually just do cheese, crackers, dips, veggies etc...sometime's I'll throw sushi in the mix to change it up.
It looks liek you had a wonderful holiday!
xoxo!
I am so glad to see ya'll are havin' a good Christmas. You and your Mom and Grandma look so cute together.
Having a theme is not necessary but sometimes it can add to the fun. I like your idea of keepin' it simple this year.
You have a safe trip and a wonderful New Year!!!
I had to pull teeth this year to get anyone to take pictures -- geez, why weren't they in the festive spirit!
Looks like a really fun Christmas =-)
