Christmas Traditions Part 3: Family

In an attempt to slow down and really enjoy all of the Christmas festivities this year, we started a little early having our parents over for dinner the week before Christmas. It was nice to relax and hang out before the bustle of Christmas started. I didn't get any pictures with Stephen's mom, but here are a few from my side.

On Christmas Eve we always go to Raleigh and have Christmas with my mom's side of the family.

Christmas morning we got up and had breakfast with Stephen's family, which I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of. Then, we headed up to my dad's side of the family for a few days.

 we will forever know what time it was when we took this! :) love them all!

this trip ended by sending these crazy people off to the Belk Bowl to cheer Duke on!

We had a great time hanging out with everyone! Now, I will enjoy relaxing at home for a few more days before it's back to the real world! Merry Christmas! Until next year...
