December Fun

December is my favorite month for many reasons: Jesus's Birthday, family-time, Christmas parties and my birthday. I turned  27 and recieved a Kindle. I love it and already read  Decision Points by George W. Bush. For my birthday dinner, William took me to JCT Kitchen and the southern food was wonderful. 
This December was special because my greystone friend, Gigi, got married in Roswell.  I was honored to be a bridesmaid and it was a fantastic celebration of Gigi and Howell's love. She is an incredible woman and a stunning bride!

We headed down to Sylvester to celebrate Christmas with William's grandparents. It was a 24hr trip but we had a lot of fun. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Elf Magic & Santa

After going back and forth on what role Santa would play in our house, we decided to go all in! T-lo "adopted" Thompson a magic elf. The company is called Elf Magic and they help you adopt an Elf. The best part of this story is how Jesus is the "best gift of all."
We visited with Jingle and Jangle Elf this week and they signed Thompson’s book. He enjoyed watching them and showing off his elf, Justin.
Friday, we went to see Santa in Smyrna. William brought Thompson to sit with Santa and Thompson started crying. I told him to ask Santa for toys for Christmas and his response was, "No toys, No Santa" What he meant was…I don't want to sit on Santa's lap for toys. Forget it.
So, we all got in the picture (even his elf, Justin):
