Christmas Break

Here's the run down -
-Best Christmas gift - Andrew! (The Starbucks syrups came in close second... :-) )
-LOVED being in Ellijay at my Grandparent's mountain home - it was so enjoyable. While in the mountains we enjoyed some good BBQ, fried apple pies, and took at trip to see Amacalola Falls. Sadly it was really foggy, but nice none the less.
-Day after Christmas - going to West GA to see Granddad and family, we loved the "snow"
-Best game - Laura & Chris' new game Settlers of Catan - we've played it almost nightly. (Although Morgan, Jeremy & Kayla enjoyed Hungry Hippos!)
-Loved all the movies - Fred Claus, Dark Knight, Wall-E, Get Smart
-Favorite pastime of Andrew - watching the ceiling fan, favorite pastime of Emily - napping, favorite pastime of Morgan - fun reading! No textbooks!!!
-Most Memorable - Christmas Eve - reacting the Nativity with Andrew as Baby Jesus, Kayla as Mary, and Gavin as Joseph.

Anyways, here are some pictures of what we've been up to.

Best Christmas gift - ever.

  3. There is something magical about seeing your child in the nativity (esp. as baby Jesus! Jack already thinks of him as baby Jesus). I can't wait to see you guys as parents in person. You look so cute. I esp. love the picture of Morg singing to Andrew.
