early christmas with my awesome family

P and I have just started to figure out the travel between both families for the holidays. Starting last year, we decided on switching every other holiday. so this year was thanksgiving in missouri and christmas in oklahoma. i'm an only child to my mother so needless to say that is a tough sell, but she did awesome for the first time in 34 years of not having her daughter home for christmas. (mostly because i came home a week earlier so we wouldn't be too sad) :)

It was a fun weekend of family and friends, the only sad part was that P was back in Texas with our pups. :( all that said - below is a few shots from both holidays with my family. My mom's nativity set up is always the biggest part of our holiday display. i love watching her put it all together. my mom's tree this year was perfectly round, but a teeny tiny bit crooked..eh, who cares..still beautiful. just like her. i'll keep adding photos to this as i continue uploading, but for now here is christmas at my mom and step dad's house.
