All The Christmas Things

Anyone else love their house 100% more when it's decorated for Christmas?
This has been a BUSY Christmas season. It's always nice to have these 2 weeks off -- we seemed to jam-pack our time, though! 
The Friday we got out of school we made our way to Memphis for Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors Christmas show. It was the perfect way to kick off this season. If you ever get the chance to see their Christmas show, don't hesitate, just do it. It's awesome!
This one is a victory picture because it wasn't until Christmas Eve that all these bad boys got wrapped. I didn't get to enjoy them sitting under there very long but, it sure did look pretty! 
We spent Christmas morning at my parents house. 
We were missing Mary Claire this year, she had to work half of a shift but, other than that, the gang was all there! 

Mimosa bar, breakfast casserole, chocolate croissants, fruit pizza, and coffee--all the makings of the perfect Christmas morning breakfast



This one makes me laugh. Mom lays out all of our stockings before we arrive and covers them with whatever blanket/sheet she can find until they are ready to be unveiled. 
This wasn't technically Ann Hatten's first Christmas but last year, she was just a few days old, so this felt like her first official Christmas to experience. 





She loves Tobey and Chester so much
Mary Claire gave us the coolest gifts! 
Original painted floral letters from a pastor's wife in Birmingham that MC went on a mission trip with before. I love it so, so much!

After we finished up breakfast and present swapping, we hit the road and made our annual trip to Auburn for our Griswold Family Christmas. We missed having Aaron & Blair and JD & Lauren and the crew but, it was so nice seeing everyone else! This year, we added 2 new little ones to the group (Ann Hatten and Lily) and next year, there will be 7 next generation cousins running around! I love that our extended family is growing!


These two on their wagon ride were cracking us up. 
We are ending our Christmas celebrations by heading to Ocean Springs tomorrow to have Christmas/New Years time with Jason's family!
