This years Christmas experience was amazing. It was full of old and new traditions that i'll share. We ate our Christmas eve dinner at the Tuckers which included ham, funeral potatoes and all the other good stuff.
My Dad read us all the Night Before Christmas. Such a good book.
Next we opened our PJ's... so cute, right?
My dads brother and sister and our cousins joined in the festivities which made for an excellent Christmas Production. After we open PJ's we dress up and put on the best Mary and Joseph story you have ever seen while my Mom and Dad read the story from the scriptures.
I was a wiseman and Tristan was an excellent Joseph.
After the production we went over to the Perdue's for the sibling gift exchange. I knew whatever was in this bag must be good.
Next we passed around the stocking where you pulled out something from inside and explained what it symbolized pertaining to Christmas.
We left out some cookies and milk for Santa and hit the sack with visions or sugar plums dancing in our heads.
We woke up at 5:45am to open presents at the Perdue's. Early but totally worth it. After we opened presents we went met my family at Camp Pendleton to take Christmas to the Marine Recruits. It was such a great experience when we went at Thanksgiving that we all wanted to go again.
Breakfast for the Recruits. Kelsey's action shot.
Mike and Kelly
Dad, Shawn and Tristan
Me and Mom
Everyone who was there Christmas morning. We are on the right.
After Camp Pendleton Tris and I went to the Tucker's to open presents. Tris and I gave each other new phones. Tristan and his new Droid.
After presents we waited for Brady to call. It was sweet cause we hung up saying, "Welp, see ya in 11 days!" Then we went to the Perdue's to talk to Tristan's younger brother, Corey, who is also on his mission.
Christmas 2009 was fabulous for the Perdue's. Hope yours was just as wonderful!
