Our Christmas Celebration~ 2016

This Christmas was very special; and always humbling, as we remember the incarnation of Jesus. Who came and dwelt among us that He might accomplish the perfect will of His Father in walking among us, and then laying down His life for us- so unworthy + undeserving!

We were so glad Mamaw and Bompa could join us later for breakfast and the rest of the day!

Our family tradition on Christmas Day has always been to come out about 7:00AM, read the Christmas story, and  then open gifts.



Frank's turn first!

I'm just guessing that's a ball=)

Emaline made Anna-Frances a diaper bag along with baby doll dresses!

{LOL!}






Alayna gave me a snap press... no more manually hammering pearl snaps!



Mama's gift from Daddy... beautiful, red wind-chimes!

William worked many hours to refinish this desk for Daddy!



Creative, edible, personalized table decor... Gifted by dear friends! (We each got one=)

Alayna's scrumptious cinnamon rolls! {Another family tradition=)))}





Thankful for all the family times we've been granted!

" In this was manifested the LOVE of God toward us, because that GOD sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him."
1 Jn. 4:9

Christmas Eve dinner! Farrah made pizza and fizzy... It was a special treat. (Sorry for all the bad picture quality... My camera is currently dead. I can't find my charger=/)

Visit to Old St. Augustine!

We planned this Christmas trip to Old St. Augustine for Thursday, December 17th. We got there around 1:30, and left at 8:30. It was a  beautiful day, and we just had such a nice time relaxing and being ALL together! Thank you Lord!


The fort was magnificent!


We didn't go inside, due to expensive passes! But we walked around the outside. It was so neat!

The harbor.... We walked on the drawbridge you can see out there.



Sweet Emaline!


Mama and her lil' boy!












It was neat seeing all the historic places, and watching the horse-drawn carriages go by.




While we were walking the bridge, a sail boat went under... So we got to see it drawn up!




Everyone (excluding the photographer=) in front of the Ponce de Leon statue.

Sweet brothers!

Looking in one of the many shop windows...

Francie loves her Daddy!=D


It was nice to get our family Christmas picture in the square! 

Bo took a few of these... 



Every one got waffle cones (and they were SO good!), but I was too busy to take any pictures=( sorry!

Florida's "snow"...=) I:E: bubbles.

Sweet.

The lights were so beautiful!

Waiting on Daddy to pull the van around, and pick us up.
Thanks to Lily Ann for the picture=)

Thus ends a delightful day in St. Augustine, as a family!
