After we were finished with Christmas in Murray, we got back on the road and headed home. On the way home we saw cows on the side of the road, of course I had to take a picture!
We had a wonderful Christmas. However, Gabriel managed to run a low grade fever all day Christmas Day and the next few days, so he didn't feel the greatest. Once we gave him Tylenol he was in a better mood. Gabriel didn't quite get the opening presents idea, but he sure loved the paper and boxes!
For the past several years we've always gotten together with Matt's mother's side of the family for Christmas Eve. We enjoy seeing all of the family. Here are just a few snapshots of the evening.
We drove to Murray on Thursday afternoon and spent some time with our sweet Neices. Morgan turned 3 in November so we let her open her b-day present Thursday night.
My mom and dad (Nana and Granddaddy) drove in from SC on the Wednesday before Christmas. On Thursday morning Matt, Gabriel and I had our Christmas and Nana and Granddaddy got to watch Gabriel open his presents from us.
It's hard to believe that 12 years ago on Christmas Day my oldest nephew, Hunter, was born. I remember they placed him in a stocking. He was absolutely adorable. Now he's 12 years old. I had the privilege of making and decorating his birthday cake so here are a few pictures of the cake and the party.
We had the privilege of going to one of my dear friends family Christmas celebration on Sunday December 19th. We love her family, they welcomed us with open arms and we had a tremendous feast. I've uploaded a few pictures from that celebration. Braxton is about 18 months old and Gabriel is 10 months old. I can tell they're going to be buds! They were so cute together. Braxton kept giving Gabriel hugs.
