On New Year’s Day they both decided they needed to get out of the cold weather and planned a trip to visit Tulum, Mexico.

My grandmother used to host Christmas Eve dinner. However, the last couple of years my mom has hosted since my grandmother now lives full time in Florida. Then, Christmas day we spend the morning with my mom opening our stockings and presents. Then we spend the afternoon and have dinner with my dad and step-family. Continue reading
