This year Christmas eve started with a Christmas eve service at our church. For the past 5 years we have not attended a Christmas eve service because of an annual family Christmas get together. This year we both really wanted to attend the service and we were so glad we did. We heard the sweetest girl sing Happy Birthday Jesus. I don't think there were many dry eyes in the congregation. We ended the service singing Silent Night in candlelight, absolutely beautiful!
Christmas morning Scott's parents, sister and her family, and his grandparents came over to our house for Christmas breakfast and presents. After opening the gifts we had sausage breakfast casserole, banana nut muffins, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, coffee, juice, and Mimosa's for the grown ups:) The kids got a Wii from grandma and grandpa and were so anxious to play their games they used our wii before heading home. They were so cute to watch as they laughed and played together.

After the family left Scott and I did our Christmas together while the dogs enjoyed their stockings.
Scott got me a beautiful cross necklace that matches my wedding ring set.
Really all I wanted for Christmas was running clothes for the winter.
Coby and Trixy got their dad a 19th hole wine bottle holder.
Then we treked over to Albermarle to celebrate Christmas with my sisters and their significant others. This was our first Christmas without being with any of our parents. It was bittersweet. We really missed them being there with us, but we also realized at the same time that we were growing up. We chuckled at that thought, but the 3 of us girls pulled together a wonderful meal. We had many laughs at the dinner table that evening. When we went to bed we still didn't have a white Christmas but when we woke up we had the most beautiful sight out our windows.
