Our merry merry Christmas, just a little late!

This year we were able to go to California for Christmas! Which I loved, tons. And I know J Tyler did too. Although it was a tough year, my parents moved out of our childhood home, into something smaller, something that suits the (soon-to-be) empty-nesters better! It was truly a bitter sweet experience. Having us all together one last time, in the home I remember having Christmas the best in! (Actually, I remember everything in that home, but it's okay. That's what memories are for).

Anyways, I didn't take many pictures. Because ain't nobody got time fo' that.

But really? I didn't. And taking pictures was the last thing on my mind.
okay, okay, lets be real. it wasn't even on my mind.

Here are the few pictures I really loved, from my favorite night of the whole trip.

CHRISTMAS EVE!

It's a family tradition.
my absolute FAVORITE I might add.
We all get matching pajamas on Christmas Eve.
we open them, and put them on. And always take pictures in front of the tree.
It's a BLAST!
