Our First Christmas as a Family of Six

This Christmas was truly a blessing! A new addition to our family to celebrate the special holiday with. In addition, we we were able to enjoy time with each other, our families, and our friends from the comfort of our living room. For those of you that know us, we typically spend the holidays traveling from one locale to another. It was so wonderful to spend time in our new home for Braxton's first Christmas. A huge thanks and appreciation to those who traveled to visit with us over the holidays and those who helped us clean, cook, and decorate. Everyone definitely helped make our holidays great. Now, if there are any volunteers to help take the decor down, give me a call.

Below are some of the details of our holidays. To see more pics, click on the picture.

The weekend before Christmas Pappa O and Nana came to visit with us. Aunt Martha surprised us by bringing MawMaw and PawPaw Nick up from Tuscaloosa for the afternoon. We had 4 generations of Nickoles boys in the house!

We did something a bit different this year for Christmas Eve. Gran & the gang came up and we all went to a candlelight and musical service at our church. We then came back to the house for a great lunch that Gran & Mimi had prepared. After a late lunch we exchanged gifts and hung out before they had to head back to t'town to get ready for Santa. It was great to see our niece Anna Katherine enjoy her first Christmas!

Mimi and Daddy G were already in town and MJ, Jeff & Ajalee came in town Christmas night. We did our Christmas with them on the 26th and they spent the remainder of the weekend with us. On the 27th, Molly's Aunt JoGayle and Uncle Sammy brought her Grandmother to visit. She was thrilled to meet her first great grandSON. We had a wonderful dinner and spent the night talking and playing games. Our niece Ajalee had a great time with all her new toys, the dogs, and most of all the kittie cat. She did not however like her Mom and Dad giving attention to little Braxton :).
