A Tennessee Christmas

This year was our first year not going anywhere for Christmas. We were really sad, but with us being so far away now, it's not as easy to go home for holidays. But we still tried to make the best of it.
Christmas Eve we made homemade pizza, which is a tradition in the Creviston family. Then before going to bed, we hung our stockings above our Christmas tree. We didn't get a tree this year, so Daniel's sister mailed us this little one. It was perfect.
Christmas morning, I woke up like a little kid, and jumped up and down until Daniel got up too. We opened presents, and made a huge breakfast. We spent a good part of the day cuddled up on the couch watching movies.

We were so thrilled to be invited over to the Brooksby's for Christmas dinner. Courtney really out did herself. The food was so delicious. We had ham, potato casserole, fruit salad, rolls and deviled eggs. We were sent home with left overs that didn't last more then 12 hours. It was that good.

Overall, we had a wonderful Christmas. Even though we didn't get to see family, at least we got to hang out with great friends.

Your pizza looked yummy! I never think to put more than ham, pinneapple, and pepperoni on my homemade pizza. I laughed so hard when I saw your tree because that was the same 1.5 foot tree we had. We were leaving for Christmas so I didn't want a live tree left alone for over a week. Merry Christmas Creviston Family!
