We had a wonderful Christmas this year and really enjoyed spending time with family. Having an 18 month old during the holiday season is just the best. Ashley was so "into" everything that encompasses this wonderful time of the year. Every time we walk past the nativity in our house - Ashley just has to stop and point out baby Jesus. I love that even at this early age she knows that baby Jesus is special. She was also very fascinated with the lights, santa, snowmen, and trees this year. We had quite a busy Christmas schedule this year that started off with opening presents on Christmas Eve Eve at Nana & Pops house. We exchanged gifts with Tiff, Larry and the boys. We had a great time watching the kids play with their gifts and eating pizza. 
On Christmas Eve we went to our church, Prestonwood for the candlelight service. Ashley even went with us this year and got to go down front and listen to Dr. McKinley talk to all the kids. She absolutely loved it and kept waving to all the kids down there with her. She is so sweet. I love our church and love all the musical talent that our congregation is blessed with. There are several occassion throughout the year where I leave the service with tears welled up in my eyes - and the candlelight service is always one of them. After the service we headed over to Gigi and Granken's house for tamales and chicken enchilada casserole. We had a blast and got our annual night before Christmas present from Gigi and Granken (Christmas Pjammas). We said goodnight - went home - put Ashley in her new PJs set out some cookies and milk for santa and then tucked Ashley in for the night. Then it was time for us to go to sleep and for Mr. & Mrs. Claus to get busy on building a kitchen for Ashley.
We woke up the next morning bright and early to see what Santa had left for Ashley. She loved her kitchen and the play food that Santa had left in her stocking.

We had a blast playing with her new kitchen and then moved onto the living room to open presents by the tree.
After that we headed over to Gigi and Granken's for some sausage bread (YUMMMM!) and to open more presents.
Ashley got a Betty Butterfly from Memaw & Papaw and loved riding it!
We then headed to Nana & Pops house for lunch and back to Gigi & Granken's for dinner. Man were we stuffed after all this yummy eating! We had a wonderful Christmas!
