I should be saying Happy New Year, but since I'm a little behind on my blog posting.....I am backing up to mine and Chad's Feliz Navidad celebration. This is our own annual tradition when we celebrate Christmas and open our gifts from each other. Really the only thing that makes it Feliz Navidad is that Chad has a special Christmas music mix for the day of latin Christmas tunes and we go out for Mexican food. This year we celebrated a few days before we headed to Nebraska for Christmas. We decided to go to a place in east Nashville for dinner called Rose Pepper. Even though we had heard mixed review about the place, we both really loved it. Chad got his favorite Chicken with Mole' sauce and I got my favorite a chimichanga. It's making me hungry just typing about it. After that we went to a little coffee house around the corner where there was some live music playing and we split a lemon cupcake. Then, we went home to open our gifts.
I scored big this year with all my gifts having a kitchen theme. I got a new Kitchenaid Mixer in a fun yellow color. The kitchen wall in our new house will be green, so it'll look great up against it. I also got a ceramic pie plate and a orange tea pot and a cool "farmers market" theme calendar. He also got me a beautiful necklace! What a great gift giver.
Chad got some really cheezy stocking stuffers from me. Quality items like...peeps in the shape of christmas trees, transformer toys and probably some other silly things. But, I think I made up for all of the when he opened his new Apple TV.
It's fun how traditions start and how they really become something special you look forward to. We can't wait to have our next Feliz Navidad with our new little baby. I'm sure they won't quite enjoy how wonderful mexican food it, but I can guarantee they'll be wearing an adorable tiny sombrero for the occasion.
