Christmas with Dick's Fam 12-25

The Nash tradition is the Christmas Breakfast. Jane sets the table with the china and silver. She serves an egg and chile casserole, curry peach, sausage and her famous biscuits.
Everyone has a 'popper', opens it and wears the crown during the ENTIRE meal! Next, everyone reads their corny joke that is in the popper. It is soooo funny to me because here you have such an elegant table, yet we are all in our slippers and 'relaxed' clothing - some even in p.j's! Having a conversation with someone with the paper crown on the head always gives me the giggles!! Pretty unique tradition, I love it!

For dinner, we went to brother David and sis-in-law Morri's house for a delicious Mexican dinner of tamales and tacos! Here we ALL are!
This is more like it!!! ahahaha!
Taylor's 'trademark' - chin up young man!!!
One of the gifts Taylor received was the Eiffel Tower!!! He had a fun time putting this together! I thought it turned out great!!! We were able to visit some friends while in town. The Hawkins family drove up from Porterville/Santa Barbara AND even from Hawaii!! Yes Janet, you DO look like the matriarch of the family!!! hahahah
Another blessed Christmas! We are so thankful each and every day to celebrate the birth of Jesus and will continue this celebration allll year long!!! Happy Birthday Jesus!!

Next stop......Cayucos!

The poppers are an English tradition. We do it with Dad and Toni too. They are a lot of fun!
