Christmas Day

Christmas Eve

 Traditional couch picture with all the great-grandchildren.

 What was happening behind the camera.

 This year everyone was there including Will, Josh and Tom who often have to work Christmas Eve.

December Week 3

 We spent an exciting Tuesday morning at the Morgan County Court House where I got new drivers' license, car tag, and filed for Homestead Exemption.

Two hours later we were headed home.

 Elf on a shelf.

 Visited Santa at Cabelas on Wednesday and did some Christmas shopping.

 And we even got some schoolwork done.

 Friday we baked chocolate chip cookies for our neighbors.

 Mollie Grace was excited to receive a note from her friend Sarah Grace.

 Making chocolate covered pretzels for their new Sunday School teachers.

 Annie wrapped gifts.

 Ready to deliver chocolate chip cookies and meet neighbors Saturday.

 On Friday evening and Saturday afternoon Ben is doing indoor soccer training.

Dressed for church Sunday before Christmas.

Before Christmas

In the weeks before Christmas we tried to balance Christmas celebration with unpacking and getting settled.  Our tree from our Southaven house is too tall for our new house so we went to Home Depot with the thought of buying a real tree.  However, we decided a pre-lit tree with a remote control would be easier.

 Our new ornament from my friend LeighAnne.

 Putting this year's ornament on the tree.

 Ben wanted a Kyle Busch championship ornament that got back ordered and hasn't arrived yet.  Maybe next year he'll hang it on the tree.

 Mollie Grace chose a Hogwart's crest.

 Annie Elf.

 The girls and I attended the Huntsville Ballet production of The Nutcracker.

 Annie lost a tooth at church and the toothfairy visited her.

Annie used her birthday money to buy this marble run and she's spent a lot of time playing with it.
