Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas with Trey's parents and Kelly and the boys on Christmas Eve.  We decided to grill steaks for a late lunch before going to the Christmas Eve Service.  It was so nice to just be together without extra people after all the events of earlier in December.  I wasn't sure how Christmas would be this year without Chris, but everyone did really well.  It is still just so surreal that he is not here with us anymore. The kids were all super excited with all of their presents.

After church we headed back home to Winfield to get ready for Santa to come visit the kids!

Santa

Santa was sure to come to our house this year because of course the Williamson kids were extra good this year.  The kids were so excited to set Santa's cookies and coke out for him and head to bed for a good night's sleep.

Christmas Fun

We had our annual Christmas breakfast with Caroline at Charles.  The kids are super spoiled by Caroline. This year she got the kids way too much for Christmas.  We miss our sweet Caroline so much and we cherish our time with her.

 
After breakfast with Caroline we took the kids ice skating in Tuscaloosa.  It took them a little while to get the hang of ice skating, but ended up doing really well.  It was great to get away with just the kids for a little while.

Christmas Card Pictures 2013

Getting a Christmas card picture this year was super hard.  We had a rough December with Chris being so sick and traveling back and forth between home, Tupelo and Amory. And our pictures we had scheduled with our photographer got cancelled because of the rain and the extreme temperatures. I wasn't sure a Christmas card was even going to work out this year.  So Mother helped me get the pictures made at her house and the cards turned out super cute!

Brittney and Michael's Wedding

All of my little cousins are no longer little girls anymore.  Brittney and Michael had a beautiful, sweet wedding.  Savannah, Jack and Julia were all members of the wedding party.

Veteran's Day Program

The 2nd grade class always gets the honor of singing at the high school Veteran's Day Program.  Julia was so excited about going to sing for the big kids.

Where The Wild Things Are

Julia's class had a wild rumpus in honor of their reading unit of Where the Wild Things Are.  The students had to design a mask of a wild thing. Julia gave the honor of helping her with the mask to her Nana.  Nana is the expert on making this mask since I think this is the 5th grandchild to help with this project.
