Baby's 1st Christmas

Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday's from our family to yours!
I hope everyone had a magical holiday celebrating Our Lord & Savior, we certainly did!

We spent this special time with both sides of the family.
Christmas Eve we went to the Candlelight Service at the First United Methodist Church.
Now I've been to Christmas Eve services before, but I've never seen anything like this. 
I loved it. The music and the readings made me feel even more joy for the glorious season.
I was moved. Don't laugh. I really was. 
I'm thinking this will be our Christmas Eve tradition. No matter where we live.
Christmas morning, goodness it was exciting. Watching Caroline take it all in was the best. 
Santa came to visit Caroline at her Sassy & G's house. She was in awe. 
I really don't think she knew where to go first. Her head was flipping back and forth as she scanned the room looking at all her new things. 
Let's not fib- her favorite thing was the wrapping paper. And anything that wasn't hers.
And of course, Christmas morning isn't complete with out a breakfast casserole.
Late Christmas morning we were in Niceville. (we're all about seeing everyone on the Holiday's)
We had Christmas morning all over again, and Santa even stopped in at Nonnie's house. :)
Again, Caroline crawled around from toy to toy checking everything out.
This child is so spoiled, it's unreal. 
Same as earlier in the day- the boxes and wrapping paper were probably her favorite.
Then we had a Christmas dinner, family and friends came over to join in on the amazing meal my mom cooked. 
This woman should seriously be a chef. I've considered hiring her to cook for my family personally. 
Yeah, she's that good. 
And of course, the following Saturday we had Turner Christmas! More "Food & Family." Turner Holiday's are always fun. Nana's house is filled to the max with aunts, uncles and cousins - and now the next generations :)
We had such a great Christmas. Another successful 1st for Caroline. The best part about it was being surrounded by everyone we love. 
It was a Christmas to remember. Happy Birthday, Jesus <3
