The tree is down and the decorations are already boxed up, but the memories will remain forever. I love sharing this wonderful season with those I love the most. Experiencing the wonderful Christmas story through the eyes of my grandchildren is something I cherish. I am thankful for each second we have together. Some of the pictures are a little blurry, and we failed to get a group picture of all of us together. None of that changes the wonderful holiday we had.
We loved the train ride and lights in Carrollton. We happened to be right in front of the Grinch when he was arrested for trying to steal Christmas. I'm not sure John Sawyer will ever recover!! Carrollton was just beautiful!
Lillian helped me cook breakfast together before we opened presents.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
During our move, I came across MULTPLE shirts from our Dixie Youth days. My sweet friend Kathy made Reed and Caleb a quilt, and we still have lots left over. Lots and lots of memories here!
I had already given Lindsey her old shirts, so I had a cutting board with Di's mac and cheese (in Di's handwriting) made for her. Lindsey has mastered the recipe!
Sharing the Christmas story
No pictures of all of us, but Lindsey did get a picture of her sweet family!
On Christmas Eve, we traveled to Lindsey's to enjoy the evening with them. We left after they opened presents Christmas morning (and a wonderful breakfast) and made it back to spend some time at Caleb's with the little ones.
My favorite part is watching them open the gifts they got from each other. Super sweet!
Slightly out of order! Putting out food for the reindeer!
Sharing the Christmas story!
They gave me a much, much needed new broom!! I was only slightly disappointed that I didn't get the new can opener I need!
Headed to bed before Santa arrived!
Pop and I were supposed to meet Lindsey and her family at Church of the Highlands at Grants Mill. Sadly, we were at Urgent Care with Pop (migraine). I am happy to say that they went and had a great time, and Pop is much better.
These two precious ones got lots and lots of goodies!!!
I also wanted to share a picture from one of my favorite nights of the year! We didn't get to have our Friendship Party last year, so it was wonderful to be together again. Love this group so much! (Virginia had already left before the picture.)
Now we are ready for all the new adventures that will come with the new year!
