     We packed this Christmas full of fun!  We started with a visit to Georgia to do Christmas with Nana, Granddaddy, and cousins.  We went to Stone Mountain Park to see lights and a few shows.  Hannah was excited to ride the train at Stone Mountain, because she had just ridden the train to Christmas Town the week before. 

     The weekend before Christmas, we took the camper back to Tombigbee State Park.  We played disc golf for the first time, and Mimi and Grandy joined us.  The boys tried to fish again, but the fish weren't biting.  We decided that we will pull out the fishing poles again after it warms up in the Spring. 

     We went to the Christmas Eve Eve candlelight service on the night before Christmas Eve. Bella and Weston exchanged Christmas gifts afterwards.  It was kind of a big deal, because this was the first gift exchange with a special friend.  Weston gave Bella a Starbucks gift card and some sparkly earrings.  He told Bella that it took him like an hour to pick them out.  She saw them and said, "They're so pretty! You know me so well." Bella also knew Weston well.  She gave him a NERF crossbow, which he absolutely loved. 

     On Christmas Eve, Mommy, James, and Hannah made homemade sugar cookies.  Mimi, Grandy, and Jan joined us for dinner.  After dinner, we all opened gifts from Mimi and Grandy.  The kids had a sleepover together in James's room. On Christmas morning, Will and I woke up early to hear kids stirring in the playroom.  We rushed downstairs to see what Santa had delivered.  Will made us eggs and homemade blueberry biscuits for our Christmas breakfast.  We sang "Happy Birthday, Jesus" and read the story of Jesus's birth from the gospel of Luke.
