Christmas eve we decided to carry on my family's tradition of going to the movies and dinner out and when we got home we opened up our PJs for Christmas morning (a new Coyer tradition) and then off to bed we went in hopes that Santa might pay us a visit and by Christmas morning we were far from disappointed!
Since we couldn't go home this year we decided to go big on gifts for each other and I think we may have gone just a smidge too big, there were presents everywhere. All our families spoiled us rotten and we spoiled each other rotten. The best part is we got to skype with both our families so we at least got to *see* them on Christmas which I think made us feel a bit more homesick than usual. We would have loved to be with them. Besides that we had a wonderful and relaxing day. We woke up early, opened gift after gift after gift, had a delicious breakfast and spent the rest of the day playing with all our fun gadgets and toys. In the evening we went over to our friends Robert and Nikki's house for a casual Christmas dinner. Their family tradition is everyone stays in their pajamas all day and not being ones to fight tradition that's pretty much what we did!
We hope everyone had a wonderful day!
