Christmas 2016

What a busy month this was. It all started with the Christmas program at Morris Chapel.  Carli graduated from the smaller Sunday School groups to the children's program.  She was a camel this year.  It warmed my heart to see her singing those songs.

I surprised Carli one day by being the Mystery Reader in her class.  I read one of my favorite books The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree,

I was blessed to be able to attend Carli's class party this year.  There were crafts and food for all the kids.

Christmas with the Herndon clan was a little smaller this year than other years, but it was great to see those who were able to come.  Carli loves her cousins so much!

Just before Christmas JAM held its annual Pancakes, Pajamas, and Pictures with Santa.  After reassuring Carli she didn't need to sit on his lap, Carli agreed to a picture with Santa.

Then we had Christmas!

Christmas Eve was a little different.  Grandbaby Grayson decided he wanted to be born for Christmas.  Dinner was just us, Grandma, and PawPaw.  Austin and Rose arrived after dinner.  Kyle, Hunter and finally Meredith showed up later.

Christmas morning, Carli attacked her gifts.  Santa was good to her.

Harper was her favorite

During Sunday School, the children had a birthday party for Jesus.  After church, Poppie came over to celebrate.

Cubs World Series Champs!

Christmas was great.  One more to go with Rose and Austin later this week.
