Merry Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas celebrating with our family. Our first family party was with the Westbury's where we ate yummy food, opened gifts, played games and sang Christmas carols. Then we attended our church's Christmas Eve service for an unrehearsed Christmas Pageant. Grace was a shepherd and Abigail was a sheep. It was chaos, but very sweet and special for the kids to be able to participate in the service. We came home and opened presents that evening and then headed to my parent's house for a yummy Christmas brunch and feast for dinner with Matthew, Grandma Westbury & Andrew's family. The day after Christmas we traveled to Hampton to visit my Grandparents and visit with relatives and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside playing croquet and swinging in the hammock and of course eating more yummy food. It was a fun and exhausting holiday!
