So I adopted your table centerpiece but did it a bit different...we used clear ornaments and I had everyone draw on their ornament and write their name :-) Everyone has a designated color that they got to paint the inside with :-) and we each have a placemat that matches our ornamentNicole Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651656823283933690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690246265928499746.post-89100296872666528072012-12-06T17:46:01.257-06:002012-12-06T17:46:01.257-06:00Awwww your family is too cute!!

It is so much harder being away from family at holidays, it's hard for those who are still so close to family to understand.Babes Mamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358199545037517298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690246265928499746.post-45115741103975581662012-12-05T13:52:45.944-06:002012-12-05T13:52:45.944-06:00we celebrate christmas 3 times: on dec 24 with my...we celebrate christmas 3 times: on dec 24 with my hub's family (their tradition to do it on christmas eve including opening all the presents etc) - big dinner until everyone is practically in a coma, the girls rip the presents to shred and then, while all hopped up on sugar from the candy and desserts, perform their "show". actually, this happens every sunday so it's not really a christmas thing; just something they do.<br /><br />then we come home and get santa's cookies and milk ready. since kayla learned how to write, she also writes him a letter. after kayla goes to bed, it usually involves me begging, pleading and eventually badgering my husband into giving me my christmas AND birthday presents. he gives me a choice: to open both presents now or wait until the actual day and without fail, i always say NOW! of course, every year, he saves one present so i have something to open on christmas day.<br /><br />christmas day is always spent at home, cuddling up and watching movies most of the day. my sister and her family then come over on dec 26 where more food gorging/comaness happens and gift exchanges. more screaming kids running rampant in the house all hopped up on sugar and etc...

Maybe it's because we don't have children.<br /><br />But on Christmas Eve, Sean and I open presents and either I make a big dinner or we order Chinese takeout and then we watch a Christmas movie together. Christmas Day we head to his parents and we spend the whole day there exchanging gifts, eating food and dessert. <br /><br />I just love this time of year. I'm thinking I'll have to adopt some of your traditions.<br /><br />Oh and I absolutely love that you are from Hawaii. I want to visit badly!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614940560800247144noreply@blogger.com
