Another Christmas has come and gone...


It's hard to believe that Christmas is already over. It was a great year and the holidays were a wonderful reminder of how much I have to be thankful for in my life. Below are just a few pictures to highlight my fun family Christmas.


My sweet family on Christmas Eve. I am so blessed by each one of them! Every year we spend Christmas Eve with my mom's side of the family. There were 24 of us this year at my parents' house! It is amazing how much the family keeps growing every year. We ate lots of yummy food, played dirty Santa, and laughed alot!


These are all the cousins on my mom's side of the family: Jeff, Jared, Carrie, Me, Katie Caroline, and Shelley. Husbands, wives, girlfriends and kids were not included in the picture...just the originals! :)


Santa made a big trip to the Bennett and Young houses this year on Christmas morning! Bennett was very excited about the dall (aka ball) that Santa put in his stocking at BeBe and Roosters house.


Yay!! Santa brought me a cool camera...now the blog page may be getting more frequent photo updates.


Katie Caroline gave me a new apron with a rooster on it and a cast iron skillet which I needed and love!! KC racked up on good gifts too...she got a lap top, new clothes, shoes, movies, and more! After we opened presents we ate a big traditional Christmas morning breakfast: grits, sausage casserole, cinnamon rolls, biscuits, sausage, and coffee. YUM! Then later Christmas Day we celebrated at my grandmother's house with my dad's side of the family. We ate more food (ugh!) and played more dirty Santa. The crowd was a little thin there this year with everyone having such a busy holiday schedule but it was still fun just the same! All in all this Christmas was a great one and now we have a whole year to look forward to it again!
