Luke and I had a wonderful Christmas with our families. Christmas Eve we traveled to his parents house to open gifts. His Mom made delicious sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits. After opening presents, we came back to Benton to spend Christmas with his Grandparents. Wanda loved her Beth Moore James book- and I can't wait to do a bible study with her at church...how fun is that?! Luke and Frank gave me a lesson in cracking pecans. Luke even found one of Jackson's toys and spent almost an hour playing with it- I don't think I've ever laughed so hard! We ended the night with a candlelight service at church and then dinner at Waffle House with the family.

For Christmas Day Luke and I opened presents a little later than usual this year....6am! Luke surprised me with a photo printer that I've been wanting as well as a Paula Deen book! His theme for Christmas has been organization- he's been working on organizing his radio stuff. After getting ready, we headed on over to Mom and Dad's for Christmas. My homemade cinnamon rolls were a bust, but Mom's biscuits and gravy made up for it. We opened presents with Natalie and Chris and Kingston- this being his first Christmas. We were even able to have Ma be a part of it- as she sat by the TV on facetime with the Ipad. After coming home for a nap, Luke and I went back to see his Grandparents. We ended Christmas with a game of Mexican Dominoes. I've decided we're having Family Game night at least once a month!!

It was a great Christmas.
