Merry Christmas!!! This year we had such a fantastic holiday season filled with family, friends and tons of fun! We kicked off the Christmas season by attending a MS Swing! (the swing band Jeff used to play with and now fills in for when needed) concert at the Flowood library. Last year H slept through the entire concert but this time around she danced and played and sang and waved and called for her Daddy then tried to run up to him while he was playing. I quickly swooped her up and headed for the lobby. Out there we could still hear the music and dance AND sing and not disrupt all the other concert-goers. H did make it long enough in the concert to hear a few of her Daddy's solos. We are so proud of our great saxophonist!
A few days later was our church's annual Christmas program,
Crossgates Live at Christmas. It was an amazing time of worship with our church family and the community. Lots of traditional carols and audience participation! The best part about the night was running into a former youth pastor from my high school days. We saw Tim and Sheila Tolleson as we were waiting for the music to start. They ended up sitting with us giving us lots of time to visit and catch up both before and after the program. They are a such a sweet couple and I'm so happy we ran into them.
Our next holiday event wasn't really a Christmas event but a fun time with family. My little brother married the cutest girl the Saturday before Christmas. All of the decorations were hot pink and black which I loved. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was full of music, dancing and yummy food. H had a great time meeting her cousins Braelyn and Ella Spell. She just wished they could have stayed longer to dance with her at the reception. After the wedding we went to a late dinner with my dad, my older sister and her husband and my younger sister and her boyfriend at the Jourdan River Steamer. Let me just tell you the only thing better than that food was the company. It was amazing!
The next day we traveled to Picayune for a 1st birthday party for one of the J's (Jennifer) littlest cutie. The theme was "Cooper's ONEderland". Isn't that cute? I got to catch up with my J's (except Jodi, who we missed) and H got to play with the little J's - RJ, Ethan and Cooper. I love love love those girls and their families!
All our fun Christmas week coming soon!
