Christmas Day

I love that Christmas was on Sunday this year. I cannot think of a better way to celebrate Christmas than by going to church and praising God for the gift of His Son. Winnie and Granddaddy came over to see what Santa brought the girls and went to church with us.



We had one worship service at church and our pastor preached on John 1:14-18. Caroline went to her class during church. I will never forget her singing "O come let us adore Him" the whole way home from church. That will always be such a special memory for me as Tripp and I try to instill in her the real meaning of Christmas!

After church Uncle Tyler and Taylor came over for lunch and opening of gifts!

Caroline loved her new baby doll!



Caroline gave Uncle Tyler some coconut M&Ms. This is an inside joke between them!



Catherine loves her tummy time mat from Winnie and Granddaddy!



Later that afternoon we went over to Aunt Dodo and Uncle B.G.'s house to open presents and eat Christmas dinner.



Caroline loved her kitty hat and mittens from Aunt Dodo and Uncle B.G.!

We had a wonderful Christmas Day! This was the first year we were able to wake up at our house on Christmas morning and open presents. It was very special! And, of course, this was Catherine's first Christmas! And Caroline loved every moment of Christmas this year. It was so fun to see her so excited! We loved hosting Christmas lunch at our house and being at every family Christmas event this year. And we still had one more Christmas the day after Christmas at Puppy and Granddaddy's house. The last Christmas post coming soon...
