Christmas Eve

This year we spent Christmas Eve with Greg's family in California. One of their family's traditions is a Christmas Eve party that is themed. For example, the first Christmas I spent with his family was Hawaiian theme. You dress for the theme, we play games araound that theme and eat food that matches the theme as well. It's really fun!

This year it was Country Western theme. So we all got dressed up in Cowboy attire and headed to the party. The first part of the night was a suprise but all that we were told was that it would be outside, and dealing with horses. Little did we know that we were in for a Santa driven, horse drawn, trolley ride adorned with Christmas lights and music. So cute huh?

Here is our little family in front of the trolley...isn't Greg one good lookin' cowboy?


Here is the whole Harris family


It was a little chilly but we each had comfy blankets to snuggle with and yummy hot chocolate to keep us warm and toasty

Maddux wan't too sure about the huge horses...you can tell by the watchful eye he has on them.

After the trolley ride we headed back to his Aunts house for chili, cornbread, coleslaw, and Resses peanut butter cup s'mores for dessert.

It was a really fun Country Christmas Eve!

I love the Cowboy theme--if I was ambitious I'd steal her idea and have a themed New Years every year. Maybe someday! Maddux is sooooo adorable--we love and miss you guys so much!
