| Bell Ringing for Salvation Army |

| I love that we live in the "Bible Belt"...nativity scenes are everywhere at Christmas around here! |
 |
| Time well spent with cousins in Athens |
These next few are from our wonderful family Christmas in Griffin with Beau's fam!
Christmas Eve service at Grace Blue Ridge. This gets better and better every year. This year was even more special because my parents and little bro were with us.

| I helped with cafe this year. |
 |
| Beau working tech. |
 |
| Our incredible worship team! |
Christmas Eve dinner at Seasons at Highland Lake...delish! This was our first time there and it completely exceeded our expectations. I cannot wait to go back again. I think we'll continue this tradition of Christmas Eve dinner there. Too bad the pictures from here didn't turn out so well.
Christmas morning in front of the fire. Beau really did great this year! He loved his hiking boots so much from The Clymb that he went out for a Christmas morning hike while I got stated on Christmas dinner.
 |
| Beau also got several albums on CD that he had worn completely through...lots of Phish, Grateful Dead and Allman shows that he still cannot get enough of. |

| Our dinner set-up. |
 |
| Christmas morning in my new comfy pjs. |
 |
| My first ever turkey and it turned out amazing! I used Martha's recipe and also her stuffing listed in that link (which my mom loved). In addition to the turkey and stuffing we had squash casserole (GF), mac & cheese (GF), green beans, fruit, mashed potatoes, gravy and some super yummy ham. |
 |
| Steve carving the bird (Beau didn't want to) while Sean supervises.
All in all this Christmas was incredible. I got great gifts, we ate great food, but most important was the time well spent with family and friends. I love our lives and this year was full of so many blessings. I can't wait to see what 2013 has in store!
