David and I drove home on the Friday before Christmas to get settled in for the holiday. After the Christmas Eve service on Saturday night, we tucked in at Mom and Dad's...anxious for Santa to come! When we awoke on Sunday morning, the gifts were all in the den - Santa must've been tired! We loved being there on Christmas morning with my parents, brothers and sister.

| This is my parent's tree. Santa came to see us! And still leaves each of us our "piles." :) |
 |
| What could be in the box? |
 |
| Brince and David each got a set of corn hole boards...score! I got some really awesome stuff too...a few surprises, and several that I already knew about! Thank you so much Santa! |
 |
| After opening gifts, we gathered for breakfast. My grandfather and Aunt D joined us for biscuits, egg frittata, grits casserole, ambrosia, sausage, and bacon wrapped tater tots - shown above. Everything was wonderful! |

| Two of the cutest helpers ever! |
After finishing up at Mom and Dad's, we moved over to my in-law's house to meet them, Amanda, and our nephew Ben.
We had an amazing dinner of filet's with baked potatoes, layered salad, squash casserole, and coffee ice cream for dessert. Pammy and Pop really outdid themselves - the house looked beautiful, and we received wonderfully generous prezzies from Santa. ;)

| Baxter was excited too! |

On Monday morning, we awoke and had breakfast there too....grits and coffee cake! Yum!
That night, we headed out to the Coody Cabin to celebrate Brince's 27th birthday. He was born the day after Christmas, and we always gather together again to enjoy cake and singing Happy Birthday over the holidays. My parents, Abbye, Gongaman, Jill, Asa, Sydney, Brince and Laura Lyn all joined for a dinner of steaks, peas, mashed potatoes, wild rice casserole, crescent rolls, and DELISH red velvet cake for dessert.
