{christmas day part 2}

After opening gifts at our house we all got dressed and headed over to my sister Lynda's house.  We had our traditional biscuits and gravy and this year we added fresh squeezed orange juice.  After breakfast the adults handed out their stockings.  This year we tried something new.  We were each given a stocking and we were only allowed to spend $20 and it had to fit in the stocking.

After the stockings were opened we all went outside to watch Nan do her diet coke mentos explosion.  The kids loved watching this.

The rest of the day we spent at my house watching the basketball games (the Lakers lost, boo) and hanging out.  We had beef dip sandwiches, macaroni salad, cheesy potatoes, pasta salads, and chips for dinner.  Overall it was a great Christmas, even the kids said it was one of their most favorite.  Its the been a long time since we've all been together on Christmas and its the start of many new traditions here in Texas.
