The Best Gift of All

The best gift of all during the Christmas season is getting to spend time with family and friends. While unwrapping presents can be exciting, it does not measure up to the joy of giving to others. We must not forget the real reason we should be celebrating- our Savior was born!

Michael and I were blessed to be able to see all of our families. We started on the Saturday before Christmas and drove up to Tupelo. The first stop was lunch at Dad's and Nina's. Nina cooked a fabulous lunch, and of course, Kate was the entertainment...especially when we opened the presents. The next stop was my Granny's where Luke and I got to give her her gifts. Then, onto the Tally Christmas for dinner and a present swap. Before heading to Luke and Amanda's we swung by John and Courtney Vines for coffee and a chat. We definetely crashed that night! Sunday morning, we went to church and came back to Luke and Amanda's for lunch and even MORE presents. That afternoon was when Mom and Benny took Michael and me to get Colby. What a happy day! ...or at least until I got the stomach bug. I will not tell that story again. Mom and Benny made a stop at our little home for a couple of days. Lastly, on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we spent time with Michael's family.

I posted various pics of our Christmas!
