On Christmas Eve, we had Sam's family over. This was a true test of our hosting skills because we had a total of 15 of us eating dinner, sharing gifts, and just spending some family time together. Also being that he has a big Italian family, we had enough food left over to feed my whole family the next day.
Christmas morning my dad's side of the family came in from Michigan. This is the first time they have made the trip this way for the holidays, but it was great to see everyone and show them our house.
We started by opening gifts. This year I try to give some more personal and customized gifts, because after awhile you really don't need or want as much. I'll go into more details about the gifts I was most excited to give in another post, but I hope my grandma and sister both liked them.
After gifts, we sat down for lunch before everyone had to hit the road and go home.
Once everyone left, Sam and I got a little time to relax before we headed to his parent house for our final Christmas party.
All in all the holidays have been really nice. It was nice that a lot our of family got the chance to see our house now that we are fully moved in. Also, being that we hosted Christmas, we still have enough left overs to last us until 2013. I call that an extra unexpected gift for us! Merry Christmas!
