I know it has been quite some time since my last post so I will try to give ya'll a good overview.
Thanksgiving was great but strange. One of our closest friends got married in the Dallas area, and Adam was in the wedding. Adam and I went to the wedding while Carter stayed with grandparents. We had a blast spending time with all of these friends, but missed the traditional Thanksgiving celebrations and meals.
Christmas time was wonderful as well! We had lots of time with family,
which has greatly been missed over the past several years. We took Carter to his first Christmas parade in Tupelo, MS. He loved the Partlow Drummers and mimics them to this day. Then we ate at Shockley's. For those of you who do not know, this was a monumental event. they have amazing breakfast food.
We also went to the Pink Palace in Memphis for the Enchanted Forrest and to see Santa.
We decorated a Christmas tree and went caroling in Memphis.
Finally Christmas Day arrived and we still had many more fun things to do. We were at Gigi and Papa's house until Christmas Eve night. We spent time putting together a puzzle and looking at old Christmas pictures. We ate a big breakfast and opened presents with the Hodges crew Christmas Eve morning. We played games, took naps and shared memories the rest of the day.
We spent Christmas Eve with our Christ City Family having a time of worship and serving a meal to whoever came. Then we went to Aunt Pat's house and celebrated with family. Around 9:30-10pm we headed to to Verona to spend the night with the West.
Christmas morning was started by reading in Luke and remembering that the only reason we have to celebrate is that our Saviour became flesh and walked among us, lived a perfect life and bore our sins and separation from God on the cross.
Then we headed to Mama Vi and Pap's house for a breakfast buffet and Dirty Santa. We rested and enjoyed each other's company, laughing and celebrating the wonderful family that we have.
As you can see, we had a big time during the holidays this year. I hope you enjoyed and I will try to do better about posting more frequently.
