On the road again...

This weekend we went to Georgia to see MiMi, Pops, and MawMaw. It was a relaxing weekend. We enjoyed hanging out spending time together.

Christmas Day

For lunch we went to the Race house. We had a fantastic lunch as we all ate way to much.

The three chefs.

Lloyd shows us how it's done on the Wii.

Lisa and Griffin

After lunch we went home to meet Grammie, Grandaddy, and Ce Ce who drove up to visit. They spent the night. We had a really good visit.

Grammie, Grandaddy, Logan and Anna Rebekah Ce Ce and the kids Grammie and Grandaddy learn to play the DS.


Overall, it was perhaps our best Christmas yet. We had a great day of food, family, friends, and fellowship.

Christmas Morning

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Luke 2:10-12

Merry Christmas!!! The Christmas morning rule at our house is the kids have to wait until Lisa and I are out of our bed before they can get out of their bed. So at 6:30 am we awoke to banging on the walls. Logan was tired of waiting on us so he took it upon himself to serve as our alarm clock. :) The girls were not awake then so we had to actually wake them up. All three were so excited. It was precious seeing the expressions on their faces when they saw what Santa had left for them. They started out by looking in their stockings. There were a lot of needed items in there. Next Logan passed out the gifts. Anna Rebekah has been working on the order in which the kids would open their gifts. She had it all organized for us. There were a lot of oohs and ahs. After we opened the gifts we had breakfast and then on to one of our family traditions. We all gather around and read the Christmas story together. This morning we read it out Luke chapter 2. The Lord has truly blessed us. Next we are off to some friends house for a late Christmas day lunch. More on that later...

Logan was anxiously waiting on us.

The Girls were sound asleep. It's hard to believe we had to wake them up on Christmas morning.

The expressions on their faces tell the story. They were so excited.

First it was their stockings.

Then on to the presents.

Playing with toys.

It has been an awesome day so far and it's only lunch time.

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Well, Christmas eve is finally here and the kids are totally excited. We had an awesome Christmas eve service at church tonight. The kids can't wait for tomorrow morning to get here so they can open presents. More to come tomorrow.

Road Trip

Tonight Logan and I made a road trip to Tuscaloosa to the Bama basketball game. We went over with our good friends Jeff, Jeffrey, and Chase. We all had a great time.

Logan, Jeffrey, and Chase were thrilled to get this picture with Logan's favorite player, Ron Steele.

The kids love staying around after the game to get autographs. The players are good about coming back out for the kids.

We had a blast...thanks Jeff, Jeffrey, and Chase for letting us tag along with ya'll. And lastly, Happy Birthday Jeffrey!!!

Baking Cookies

The girls went over to a friends house to bake Christmas cookies yesterday. They had a great time. Thanks Lana for having them over. mmm...I can't wait to try one of these yummy looking cookies!!!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Tonight we got our tree decorated. The kids were excited. They picked out their favorite ornaments to hang.

Our Christmas Tree

Well, we finally made it to get a Christmas Tree. We have been on the go so much lately that we have not had a chance to get our tree until tonight.

After a few minutes of looking around, the kids found the perfect tree.

More pictures to follow once the tree gets decorated.

Christmas in Troy

Hannah and Emily on the hayride.

Wow...what a weekend! Our first stop was the 10 Mile Branch for the Richburg side of the family, complete with a fun hayride. It was good to see the family again. I just wish we could see each other more often. What family gathering would be complete without a friendly competition? We played baseball (see the picture above) and football.

Presents already! The kids had fun opening presents.

Sunday was time with the McKnatt side of the family. No family gathering is complete without eating.

MawMaw and the girls.

Logan loves his Pops.

What a weekend. It was a blast, but boy are we pooped! Thanks to everyone who had a hand in planning this past weekend. We had a lot of fun.

Christmas Musical

The Westminster School at Oak Mountain Children's Choir had their Winter Concert tonight. Anna Rebekah and Hannah participated. They did a great job and both sang beautifully!
