Christmas Eve: Dinner at John's parents house, Christmas Eve service (where we saw tons of old friends!), and games! This was also Carter's BIRTHDAY!!! He's 3. Cannot believe it. We gave him some treats of course :D

Christmas Morning: We went to my mom's house and did Christmas presents with Mawmaw and Pawpaw and my family.

Christmas afternoon: John went to work :( My mom, brother, and I went to Jacksonville to spend some time with Grandma Brinn! We did a Chinese buffet and got to spend some time with her. It was really nice :D
Love this lady!
Friday after Christmas: BINGO! with my family. It's a huge family affair and we have done this ever since I was a little girl. When we were little mawmaw and pawpaw would buy little gifts and when you bingo-ed you got to pick one! We also play a white elephant version where you can steal from others. haha. We hadnt played in a few years but we decided to play again this year! We had a big ol' crowd too! There was me, John, my mom, my brother, his girlfriend, sherry, my in-laws, Julie, Joel, Mawmaw, Pawpaw, Stephanie, Aunt Rhonda, and Uncle Marcus! Whew! It was fun. Me and John teamed up and would steal the presents we wanted. haha.
Newlyweds..lol

Saturday after Christmas: The family staying with mom came over to see my house!! Carter snuggled good with Mawmaw!! It was so sweet :D
Sunday after Christmas: Johns parents and Julie and Joel were coming over to our house to celebrate Christmas with us! I made a big brunch for everyone :D Then we exchanged presents and just hung out for awhile before John had to head to work.
