This year Jay and I were fortunate enough to spend Christmas with his family in Duxbury. Like I said before, I was excited to see how they did Christmas. Alot of Jay's extended family comes up for Christmas, which is different than we have ever done. His Aunt Betsy, Uncle Jim and his girlfriend Barbara, and Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Pauly were there too. It was so great to be surrounded by so much family. We went to a couple of cocktail parties and get-togethers, ate a ton of great food, and really just hung out for the weekend. On Christmas day, we all slept in, had coffee (or Sugar Free Red Bull if you're me!), and then sat around the fire to start opening Christmas gifts. Everyone sits in a big circle, which is exactly how my family does it, and goes one at a time. It was nice to have a little piece of similarity there. After a couple of rounds, we all got up and had mimosas and an amazing breakfast casserole that Beth made. When we went back to the living room, we were there until about 2:30 in the afternoon. So cool! It really is a day long event, and we didn't have to get out of our PJ's all day. I had to share a couple of pictures from the weekend.
Getting ready for Lobster Casserole night! A favorite in the Williams household!

Uncle Mark to Josh! Hey...it says it's for Breast Cancer Awareness!

Me and my brothers!
Wickers with Beth and Gary!
Uncle Jim loves all of the new technology that comes out every year, two people got him the Steve Jobs book, because it just made since. We thought he looked an awful lot like Steve Jobs!
I'm so sad that we weren't able to spend more time with him family. I feel like, since I don't have any vacation days yet, that we make such short trips up to see them. I am hoping we can spend a long weekend with them at some point in the future. However, I would say we had a very successful Christmas holiday with everyone, and can't wait to do it again!
