We decided to do the Hollywild thing after Christmas because the lines were so long before Christmas....great decision....we didn't have to wait in a line at all!!!

Christmas Morning at my Mama and Papa's house

My mother's family has always met at my grandparent's house for a Christmas morning breakfast, the reading of the Story of Baby Jesus, singing songs, and opening presents. I LOVE and cherish this tradition!!! Here are some pics....
