traditions

Because Matt and I knew we were having a baby so close to Christmas we decided we were not going to make it home for the holidays. It was sad but it just did not seem realistic, so we had to figure out what we were going to do with our little family!

Matt's family has always had chili and corn bread so we decided to do that. We also looked up some neighborhoods in the area that had cool Christmas lights! All I can say is WOW! They had it set up where there was music cued to the movement of the lights it was crazy! One house even had a little snow making machine!
We came home and opened gifts; it was very different from what we would normally be doing at our parents', but it was nice.
