Christmas Eve I made dinner, well some of it. My mom bought this yummy meat and all you do is put it in the oven so that was my kind of dinner! Lol
I made mashed potatoes, dessert and my sis was in charge of making a side dish. My mom is in charge of getting the tamales ...yumm! Look forward to those every year at Christmas time.
This year was going smooth until Jamie & I got a lil bit of food poisoning so it made for a very hard day of cleaning and cooking. We pulled through like troopers, we couldn't cancel and mess up Christmas Eve.
Good ol Pinterest gave me the idea of making a craft with plates and markers. So Josiah & Lexi decorated there plates and we baked them. They enjoyed it so much we will have to make that a tradition. They also made cookies for Santa and decorated them.
Tradition in Guatemala is you eat and open gifts at Midnight ,but we kinda twik it a lil for the kids. We usually let the kids open gifts around 10:30 ish and then we watch a movie till midnight. Then at midnight we give the traditional hug and kiss and wish each other a Merry Christmas.
Christmas Day we wake up and open present from Santa ,but this year Mr Josiah decided to open all his presents from Santa on his own!;( lil stinker
After all fun of exchanging gifts... We headed over to grandma and grandpas house for breakfast and opening of gifts. Then we came home and napped ... Well Jovie did anyways. We played with Josiah's new Xbox it was so much fun. Then we got dressed and ready for dinner at Jamie's uncles house.
This year I got some great gifts....a got a New sewing machine who would have thought I would have ever wanted a sewing machine!!! I still have yet to open it, but my friend Kate said she would help me get started. She is so talented ...she made Jovies first Dollie. Worst case it came with a DVD lol
Mr fifield surprised me with a new printer so awesome, and a mini IPad which will help in getting my daily blogs in. Thanks hunny :)
