New Year's Day (a.k.a Christmas # 2)

As we were with Jamie's family over Christmas, we decided to celebrate Christmas with my family on New Year's Day. So we celebrated Christmas #2 with the Saldana Family at our house :) My parents and brother didn't open any of their presents Christmas Day so that they could open them with us when we got back. How sweet is that!
Jamie and I decorated the table for Christmas and made a lovely dinner of our signature lasagna dish and garlic bread (By the time all the eating for Christmas #1 was complete, we wanted something different). We were able to find Christmas Crackers after Christmas, as most stores were already sold out, we didn't get around to buying them before Christmas and so they weren't the best.
The whole day was great. We ate, drank, opened presents, and watched the Rose Bowl game (A college football game played every year on New Year's day). It was so relaxing, as you can see below of my brother and dad after dinner.

More to come later on the rest of our weekend...
