What a wonderful Christmas we had. We were able to spend lots of quality time together with all of our family, and we had a blast! It began with a birthday supper for Nana on the 23rd. The next day, we went to a Christmas Eve brunch in Albany at the home of a friend, and then back to Americus to celebrate the true reason for the season at a Christmas Eve service at church. This service was extra special for Anna since she was able to participate in her first Lord's Supper. She reports that the food was actually not so good, but it was still neat to have a part. The kids got up early Christmas morning to find the cool gifts Santa had left and open the gifts under the tree. Later in the morning, Mimi, Papa, Brent & Megan, Nana, Papaw, Jason and Jeremy came over for a Christmas morning "breakfeast" as the kids like to call it, to see what Santa had left. Next was lunch and gifts at Mimi and Papa's where more gifts were exchanged and a delicious meal was enjoyed. After lunch, it was home to set up the new TV and Wii that we got for Christmas. Next, we were off to Nana and Papaw's borrowed cabin for supper. Although the cabin's quarters might be small, it made it seem that much more homey and close. We had a wonderful day making memories that will last in our hearts for years to come. We were able to spend lots of time with Jen and her family, as well as Jeremy and Jason over the long weekend. It was so nice to be able to spend time with family. Jordan summed it up well, when he was asked by us what his favorite gift was that he received . He answered, "the love I receive from my family". We are so blessed and it's nice to have this time of the year to celebrate the gift of our savior and the gift of family!
