Christmas Eve:
In the Coniam house hold it is tradition to open presents and eat chimy chaungas on Christmas Eve. This is a great tradition because I LOVE Mexican food and I LOVE my mom's chimmies she is such a great cook, hopefully one day I turn out to be a great cook like her! We had a lot of fun at my fams house hanging out and enjoying being with each other! It is never a dull moment with my 2 teenage brothers! I cannot believe how old and TALL they are getting! It is kinda sad when your youngest brother is 6'2 and you are only 5'6! HAHA!
At the Dawson house hold they have a mission foods tradition! The boys bring their favorite food from their mission for everyone to try like meats, cheeses and crepes! Then after everyone is done eating we sit around the family room and dad Dawson reads the Christmas Story from the Bible. It's so much fun when everyone is over! I mean... a 15 person family?! When would you NOT have fun!
Brandon and I have started a tradition where we go look at Christmas lights and drink hot chocolate, and afterwords we open our Christmas pjs. We love it! It's great just to spend time together and see the Christmas spirit all around!
Christmas Day:
Brandon couldn't sleep because his back was hurting him so we woke up early and opened presents from each other! Here is what we got: (these are our Christmas pjs)
Christmas with the Coniams:
Another Coniam tradition is Christmas morning breakfast! This time we had Christmas breakfast with my mom's dad, GRANDPA! It was a lot of fun and we are so glad that he got to come and hang out with us! Brandon had his new Flip camera and he took video of Christmas Day (this is the first video ever taken on this camera!!)
Christmas with the Dawsons:
Since the boys are big into long boarding they decided it would be fun to create a long board/Christmas celebration called "Santa's Slide-Out". We went to T-bird park where mom and dad Dawson had linner set up for everyone! The boys had a lot of fun showing off their long board skills to all their fans. So here is the gang at t-bird park.
