The holidays didn’t feel like the holidays until my family drove up to Pennsylvania for a last-minute New Year’s Day party with my sister’s family. We pulled together a silly gift exchange (with a couple of real gifts mixed in there, too), threw together a traditional taco dinner on the fly, and had a fabulous time. After we celebrated with them, I could officially call the holiday season complete.
Ringing in the New Year with the East Coast extended family was the highlight of my holiday – along with my college-aged daughter’s return home for 3 weeks, of course! It was so nice to have her home for so long, despite the fact that we were all sick for half of that time. Sometimes lazy stay-at-home days are the best, anyway!
What was the highlight of your holiday season?

That sounds like a lovely way to spend New Year’s Day.
Great pictures too! Cousins are so much fun, aren’t they?!
Thanks for sharing.
Wishing you a lovely day.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I love being around family during the holidays.
How fun! I wish we had family nearby, we’re spread across the country and seeing big family get togethers always makes me wish we could experience that more often.
A get-together with the cousins is always a treat for the kids in our family. Looks like it was for yours, too! Happy 2015!
