Twas the Night Before Christmas



So Christmas this year was full of all sorts of blessings and miracles: David survived a pretty serious car accident with only a few broken ribs, the grandparents were incredibly generous, and our children were full of so much joy and wonder. Luckily, Grammy was in Savannah when David's accident happened and stayed with the kids while we were at the hospital and then drove us all (including the heavily medicated D) to Atlanta. We enjoyed Christmas there and Dad drove David back to work and Savannah the following week. We were able to enjoy a second Christmas in Alabama New Year's weekend.

Here are some of the photos from the Atlanta Christmas though I haven't been able to find my Alabama pictures. I might have to get Ann and Roy to send us some. Here you'll see the night before Christmas: Elsie wrote Santa a letter and left him and the reindeer various treats before she went to bed. Surely, he was especially delighted by the crouton and bubbles she left him--Johnny was convinced that the Christmas crouton will become a holiday tradition in years to come! Likewise, Beth had no problem defending the use value of Kate's ND snuggie on Christmas Eve and was delighted that Meredith gave David an Alabama snuggie for Christmas which she has since borrowed quite liberally.
