Alex Drummondis kicking off some new traditions with husbandMauricio Scottin their first year of wedded bliss.
Afterspending Thanksgiving with the Drummonds, the newlyweds are off to Monterrey, Mexico, where they’ll spend Christmas with Mauricio’s family, also marking Alex’s first visit to her husband’s hometown, according to her momRee Drummond’s blogThe Pioneer Woman.
“The way that we’re doing this whole marriage-holiday-thing is we’re doing Thanksgiving with one of our families every year, and then Christmas with the other family, and it’ll flip-flop,” Alex, 24, said on Instagram. “So next year we’ll do Christmas with my family.”
Alex added that she’s “so excited for the food,” which includes a pastel azteca during the family’s celebration of Las Posadas.
“I’m really excited about Mexico. It’s my first time going to where Mauricio is from,” she added. “I got to meet a lot of his family at the wedding but I’ll get to meet a lot more of them, which will be fun.”
“Nephew, Daughter, Son-in-Law! Three of my (seven? no, ten!) favorite youngsters right here. We’re all in different places now, but had fun together last week,” Ree captionedphotosof the visit.
Alex and Mauricio also made a stop back home in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, where they exchanged gifts with the rest of the Drummond brood.
Theytied the knoton the Drummond family ranch in Oklahoma back in May, afterannouncing their engagementlast August. The couple met during their freshman year of undergrad at Texas A&M University.
Ree, who shares daughters Alex and Paige, 22, and sons Bryce, 19, Todd, 17, and foster son Jamar, 19, with husband Ladd Drummond, 53, previouslyopened up to PEOPLEabout preparing to become an empty-nester.
“We are in such a different season now, Ladd and me. We have only Todd at home,” she said in October. “We are almost empty-nesting!”
“I used to get sad when the kids left for college. When the girls left, I cried and wailed and mourned. But now, now I just sort of embrace what those changes bring,” Ree told PEOPLE. “Right now, it’s bringing a little bit of peace, serenity, and quiet. The kids are almost all grown and we can enjoy them when they come home. But then when they’re gone, we really enjoy that too.”
