For Christmas Eve, Marco and I had dinner with my Mom & Dad, sans little brother. Nate, aka Lieutenant
(see here), is stationed in California and spent Christmas Eve working. :( We are definitely excited though for his trip home in just a few days! :)
After dinner, Marco and I dashed over to Abuelo & Abuela's house for gift-giving and receiving! (...and more eating...)
 |
| Just like last year, Marco & I made some Glogg based off a recipe from NPR.org (get it here) and bottled it up to share with the family. Glogg is a vodka and Port-based Scandinavian drink infused with cinnamon, cardamom and cloves, served warm during the Christmas season. |
 |
| The Glogg recipe calls for potato-based vodka soaked with raisins and cinnamon sticks. These raisins, not surprisingly, become a tasty little treat afterwards. |

| The cousins with matching beanies |
 |
| Me, Mel, and Laura with homemade shawls compliments of Aunt Alicia. The shawls are super soft and come equipped with pockets to keep hands warm-- perfect for movie watching on the couch! |
 |
| Marco was so happy to have Christmas day off! (as was I, of course!)<3 |
 |
| When the weather turns cold, the boots come out. |
 |
| This is what happens when you leave your camera laying around. There's no telling what kind of 'selfies' you might find later on...hehe. Luckily, this one's pretty. |
