A Day Celebrating Our Saviour's Birth

After Jaden opened all his gifts from Santa it was time to get ready to head over to Pappaw Jerry and Mammaw Brenda's for Christmas Lunch...Even though we had already exchanged all our gifts the night before, Brenda still wanted to fix Christmas Lunch for everyone even though some couldn't be there...Before we went we made our Broccoli Casserole and baked our home~made Chex~Mix to bring with us...We got to spend time with James sister Shawna and Ron before they had to leave and go back to Tennessee...Jaden took a long nap there...After nap time it was time to head to my family for our Christmas Dinner and exchange all our gifts with each other...My daddy cooked a country ham and my momma fixed all the fixins...It was so good and we were all so stuffed...


My momma's dressing...The best ever!


Brocc Casserole

Cranberry Sauce

Fresh Corn

Christmas 2010
Can't believe Christmas has done come and gone...This Christmas was a bittersweet one...the first since my Mammaw Rosie died...My dad was a little on the quiet side along with each of us...we are so thankful for all our memories of all our past Christmas together...So thankful that my dads sister and her two sons and their families got to be with us this Christmas...You know you sometimes have to make new traditions after your loved ones pass on...We all had a great night together...Our hearts rejoiced knowing that our grandparents were up in Heaven this Christmas celebrating with our Saviour...
