Merry Christmas Eve!

Today we had our Allen Family Christmas Celebration. We went over to my In-Laws for a delicious Mexican Christmas Feast. We had tacos, tamales and beans and rice. There was apple pie and coconut cake for dessert. Delicious. After dinner we opened presents and had a great time hanging out with the family! The girls love to spend time with their cousins. Even Dennis had a great time exploring Grandma and Papa's yard. Chad and the kids played their annual football game out in the street.



















A couple of weeks ago, my mom posted about family traditions on her blog. She asked others to share some of their family traditions. Well, one of our family traditions, taken from my childhood, is that we set out a doll or stuffed animal by the Christmas tree so that Santa will know where to leave each girl's gift. Then we set out the cookies and carrots for Santa and the Reindeer and then, off to bed.






Come on over Santa! We're ready for you!
