Merry Christmas to all!
We celebrated at least five times (with different combinations of family), and were thoroughly filled with joy!
Here's the recap.
We had James' dad and his sisters up to Franklin to exchange gifts, do lunch, and see the sights at Opryland. The kiddos had a great time exploring the twisting maze of paths and making new discoveries around each corner! We later went down to Huntsville for the day to make merry with our family there and enjoyed spending time together.
One of my favorite traditions is our church's Christmas Eve service especially for families with young children. Upon arrival, kids dress up as either sheep, donkeys, cows, shepherds, angels, or wise persons, then participate in worship through a retelling of the Nativity story accompanied by carols. Angels are very popular with the girls!
Of course, there's always time to read our many favorite Christmas books.
Daddy wanted to get his girls the Barbie Diamond Castle playset because he knew it was what they wanted most. He was well rewarded by their reactions.
Happy New Year from the Whitfields!
Elise's big present was an animatronic kitty cat from her sister. Hopefully this will take some stress off Poppy.
