The days leading up to Christmas: packed with last minute shopping (character trait of mine:-), fun parties, wrapping (again, last minute… ), and looking forward to many family get-togethers that happen far too infrequently than we'd like. The weekend before Christmas, the Koonce-Gore (and Sturdivant, Warf, Shannon) event took place at the Sturdivant's house.
Love these lovely ladies (including Lady Garnett, our newest addition this year)!
And our yearly staircase picture of the motley crew… the growing staircase! I know Mamaw and Papaw are smiling down from Heaven at this picture. What a fun crew!!
With Christmas Day falling in the middle of the week this year, I feel like it snuck up on us… Christmas Eve, we all went to our candlelight service at FBCJ, then headed over to the Sturdivant house for dinner. The kids were beyond excited… (and so were their parents). This year is the first time Silas and Avery have really understood the whole "santa" thing as well as the main thing - Jesus' birthday! We sang happy birthday to Jesus, enjoyed His cake Eleanor made (more sugar…. oh lawdy, they'll never go to sleep!)… and had to get a picture in their new Christmas PJs from Mimi and Papaw.
Love this pic that sums it all up. No caption needed.
