Merry Christmas !!!

We had a wonderful Christmas! We spent time with all of our families and it was really nice. We enjoyed visiting, opening gifts, eating and the spirit of Christmas. We started our Christmas travel on Saturday the 20th at my dad & step mom's house (Brock calls them Pop & Dee). They live on Lake Weiss in Centre, Alabama. On Tuesday night, we traveled to Auburn to see Brad's parents (Mimi & Gaga). We spent the night and had Christmas with Mimi, Gaga, Aunt Heidi, Uncle Mike, Uncle Robert, Auntie Jen, and cousins Wilson & Emery. We came home late on Christmas Eve night. On Christmas morning we had "Santa" here at our house and Brad cooked breakfast and read the Christmas story. Then we hit the road to Rockmart where my mom & step dad live (Granna & Grandaddy). We had Christmas lunch there with my grandmama, grandaddy, aunt Susan, uncle Steve, cousin Taryn, sister Brandi, brother in law Mike, niece Olivia, mom & step dad. After lunch we headed to Cedartown for our last stop of the day. We had Christmas dinner at my Nanny's house with my dad, step mom Dinah, aunt Opal, uncle Phil, cousins Mary, Matt, Maris & Anna, Brandi, Mike, Olivia, Nanny & Allen. At last we made our trip home to Villa Rica.

Christmas is such a special time of the year. The birth of baby Jesus means something special to each of us but sometimes in all the hustle and bustle we loose sight of that. We should all be thankful for Jesus and what he has done for us. Brad, Brock and I are truly blessed beyond measure and thankful for each of you : )

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy! (Family pictures coming soon.)
