That afternoon we went to Josh's parents house to celebrate Christmas with his side of the family. We started out by opening gifts. Each year we pick a person to be a Secret Santa (which is never a secret for long) and buy a small gift for them and then do something big for a family /organization in need of some Henderson/Pinch TLC. It is such a fun tradition that we have done since Josh and I have been married. This year we started a new tradition. After opening gifts us "kids" made gingerbread houses. Janae and Andrew's sleigh was quite CREATIVE and blew our little house design out of the water!!! Seriously, it was so CUTE! Once we all got fun prizes for our gingerbread houses we went to dinner. To wrap up our family fun evening we went to check out some Christmas lights, which is another tradition that we have together. Our holidays with them are always so much fun and a great reminder of how blessed I am to have such wonderful in-laws.
On the 25th, we packed up and headed over to my parents house. We had a delicious breakfast together, opened presents and then relaxed for awhile. With everyone's hectic schedules we aren't all together often so it was such a treat to be spending the whole day with each other. When my mom's cousin and his fiance came over we competed in some Minute to Win It Games and Josh dominated!!! That evening my parents made us dinner and we played a few more games together. It was a great way to end a perfect day!
Sophie had such a special first Christmas!! We had so much fun creating memories and new traditions together with our families! We are so blessed and thankful for all that God provides us.
