Christmas…the first half
We were very blessed & got to celebrate Christmas with family in shifts this year…for pretty much all of December! (Not that you could tell it by our house, it was pretty pitiful when it came to decorations this year…we’ll have to do better next year!) Seth’s parents came down on their way back from working in Boone for a week for Operation Christmas Child the first weekend in December. Even though Seth worked (& slept, really) a good bit of the time they were here, we had a great visit! Brayden got his presents from Nana & Paw Paw…but the best present was the visit!
Then on December 12 we had my mom’s family Christmas. It was so much fun & it was great to see everyone (almost everyone made it) but especially to meet Kaya, the newest member of the family! We also headed to the zoo for Christmas lights & Saluda Shoals for the lights with my family (& celebrated Mom’s birthday)! We attempted making cookies as a family on Christmas Eve-Eve. It went about as well as I expected, but we tried & it will get better each year I’m sure! It was fun & we made a memory none-the-less. The other pictures are just cute winter-y shots that I had from throughout the month. My next post will be on actual Christmas…I know I keep saying that…maybe it’s a test to see who’s paying attention!?!?! Just kidding!
