Christmas in Columbia

After our around the Southeast week before Christmas, we were able to come home and enjoy actual Christmas at home.  Christmas Eve we went to the Children's service at our church (which Sarah Anne did really well at) and then had Christmas, went to church, and went to have Christmas dinner at the William's house.  It was a really great "second" Christmas and we were able to start some new traditions!

Everyone got to open a present on...

Christmas Eve!!

Someone got some things to cook!

Reading the Christmas story the next morning while putting the Nativity Scene up.

I'm ready to get started please!!

Ripping into the presents!

She opened her shopping cart and then....

demanded her Daddy set it up before she (or we) opened any more!  (Definitely realized we should set up toys BEFORE Christmas morning.

So her sweet Daddy got right to work!

She found a way to entertain herself while she waited!

Then she was OFF!!!  Pushing her baby!

CHEESE!!!  I'm ready for church!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
