Christmas 2011

Christmas is so exciting.  We celebrate Jesus, the most wonderful gift ever!  We celebrate family!  We celebrate friends!  I love Christmas.

This year was a little different than most years in that we didn't spend Christmas morning in Bostwick with Grandmoma and Granddaddy, but we did get to spend it with the majority of our family.  We started in Macon.  Rather than gifts with Gary and Lindley, we started going to dinner just to spend time together a few years ago and it has been a great decision.  Dinner this year was of course wonderful.  Christmas Eve morning, Mrs. Susan's brother's and their families join us for brunch. (Thanksgiving is with the Ouzts', Christmas is with the Beall's...).  Then we go to 5pm Church, come home for a pizza dinner, then open gifts.  (At one point, they went to the 11pm service and did gifts afterwards which took until about 3am...).  Andrew and I typically leave early Christmas morning for Bostwick where we do breakfast at the grandparents, then go to Madison for the rest of the trip.  This year, Hugh had to work on Christmas, so we headed to Ocean Springs instead.  Mom and Dad joined us there - so we really missed seeing the grandparents, but were glad we could be together.  We loved getting to see everyone and spend time together.  Here are some pictures...more to come of course.
