Christmas Eve

Since Christmas Eve day fell on a Sunday, we went to church together that morning as usual. We were joined by my brother, Phillip, who was visiting for the weekend. We took a few pictures that morning before church:

After church we ate lunch at Atlanta Bread Company and then came home to do a bit more baking. Phillip made another batch or two of Spritz cookies and I made sausage balls for our get together later that evening. About 4 o'clock we went to Chris's dad's house in Southaven (about 10 minutes away). Phillip came with us and fit right in with the rest of the gang. After munching on appetizers and then dinner, we let the 4 cousins open their presents. Mamaw handed out presents one at a time so that we could see what each kid got instead of just seeing a flurry of wrapping paper being tossed in the air.

L-R: Hagan, Matthew, Grant, & Austin
