I loved spending the day getting ready for my first Christmas dinner at our house. Doug made a delightful turkey breast with gravy, and I made the rest.
We would pick up Mama for church and begin the celebration of Jesus’ birth.
When we got to church, Tatum ran up to Jamie ( our pastor) and Derek (our worship pastor). She has no problem going right up and sharing! They ate her up. She said, “I love watching you every Sunday. I’d rather watch you than go to the Kids’ Club.” They both remarked that is a good problem. High Five!
Tatum had a super cute shirt on given to her by John, Dolly and Tommy; it’s filled with lots of love.
Mama looked so pretty.
The service was beautiful ending with singing Silent Night. The whole place was lit up with candlelight. Magnificent and glorious. We took more pics after in front the trees.
I love how kind and giving everyone is at Christmas. So many offered to click click. We are pretty cute, all of us. (wink!)
Doug got the whole tree!
We headed home for a wonderful dinner!
Turkey, gravy, cauliflower mash, sweet potatoes, and salad. Simple table with some surprises under each plate.
Our first Christmas dinner! This year in the condo but next maybe in our new home. Either way, it’s special to all be together.
There’s my cute hubby.
We’d each share about the symbols of Christmas. The meaning of the candy cane, the three gifts, the wise men, Santa Claus, Christmas colors of red and green, and the Christmas tree.
I made snowballs for dessert with hot fudge. It was so great to share as a family!
Mama, we love you beyond belief!
The evening ended with Daddy reading The Night Before Christmas. We are now ready for Christmas!
He shall be born tomorrow! I love you, Family.
