Five Christmases! - BIG POST!

We had 5 Christmases in 3 days this year. Crazy getting here there and everywhere. It was great to spend time with so much family. By the final Christmases, Benjamin had figured out to rip the paper and throw it to the side to get what was beyond the paper. First we started out in Spring Hill at the Delk's.
Christmas Eve we spent time with Richard's family wrapping gifts, eating a delicious dinner, and having Christmas. We ended the night going to Mt. Carmel's Christmas Eve service.
We decided this was the year to start our own Christmas morning tradition at our house. What a great White Christmas it was! We had to wake Benjamin up to open presents! He had a rough night the night before. I surprised Richard with a charcoal/gas grill and he then surprised me with an embroidery machine! This was the first Christmas we have bought gifts for each other, we normally just purchase something big together! Benjamin got a turtle ball pit and lion walker from Santa. He also got a car race track, ball spinner, and car mat from mommy & daddy.
After our morning, we headed to Pop and Geebaw's house for the Big Weakley extravaganza. It was fun watching Emary and Benjamin open presents and play.
Following Geebaw's, we drove to Manchester for an amazing Christmas lunch with my family and then we opened presents. We went to see some dancing Christmas lights down the road after dark. They were spectacular! We spent the night with my family to go to church with them the following morning. Manchester got more snow throughout the night and it was beautiful. We ended back at our house later that afternoon to unpack and rest.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
