Christmas Celebrations

Our celebrations began on Christmas Eve at Jennifer and Kevin's house. They hosted us along with Mom and Dad and we enjoyed a fabulous meal at a beautifully set table.


By the time we arrived at their house it had been snowing for awhile and the boys went out to play. Cullen made a couple of great snow angels:

Unfortunately the evening was cut a little short because we wanted to get home before the roads got too bad. We did really enjoy the time with family, and are grateful that we made it home safely.

Christmas morning started out with gifts from Santa:

After breakfast and a little playing in the snow (see previous post), we loaded things up and headed for East Texas. The roads were clear by early afternoon, and we had no trouble getting there.

We visited with family that evening and then on Saturday had another round of gift opening, this time at MeMe and CeCe's house.

After that feast of food and presents, we went to Tonya and John's house for still more food and presents. The cousins had a great time together:

It's hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone and that we're already one day into the new year. May we all remember to celebrate the gift of Christ in our lives every day this year!

p.s. I will be leaving tomorrow for a mission trip to Peru. Please say a prayer for Robert and the kids while I'm away. If you want to follow our trip, we plan to update our blog daily while we are there: www.southmontmissionperu.blogspot.com
