We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We began by having the Bakers over for our annual Christmas Eve breakfast. That afternoon we went to church at 4, and although I probably say it every year, this year's service was the best I have ever attended. Mom spent the night with us, as always, on Christmas Eve.
We all woke up about 7 on Christmas morning to the most beautiful snow!
John seeing the snow fall for the first time. John loved playing with his new train, exploring his new potty and pulling treats out of his stocking.
He helped Elizabeth discover her gifts from Santa, too! Jason took John outside to play in the snow for a few minutes, and he loved eating the snowball Jason made for him. 
We headed over to the Bakers about 10:30 for a wonderful brunch, and then back home to rest up and pack up to head to Darden for Christmas night. We arrived at the lake about 4:30 and enjoyed lots of visiting, wonderful food and watching the children open their gifts and stockings from Bo and Big Daddy. 20 people...10 grandchildren, 6 of whom are in diapers = wild but fun!
We arrived home yesterday afternoon and have enjoyed our new gifts, but most of all, spending time with each other. I don't think John quite knows the true meaning of Christmas yet, but he managed to put baby Jesus back in the manger while playing with our nativity set-it's a start!
We hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
