We hosted Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at our house…for the first time ever!
We went to an awesome Christmas Eve service at Southside at 4pm and then headed back to our house to eat, exchange gifts and spend time with family. "Apple and Papa" (Mike and Debbie) and Erin, Taylor, Jack, Grandma and Mamaw all joined us to celebrate. It was so nice to all go to the service together and get to connect and reflect on the real reason for the season. "Silent Night" is one of those songs that always gets me…and it was performed beautifully by Joy Honeycutt!
Parks had been telling me he wanted a scooter for Christmas for weeks. It was hilarious that he remembered to say the same thing more than once, and I honestly have no idea where he got the idea, but he was adamant…so that's what he got! Marlee said she wanted cupcakes.
Here's some random iPhone pics from the festivities...
