Sam's Fam: Merry Christmas and Jon & Rachel's Wedding!!

We had a great Christmas holiday this year. Because Josh's brother was getting married on January 2nd, and we would see all of his family then, we just went to Opelika over Christmas. The kids and I were there from Sunday-Friday. Josh was only there for a few days. My sisters Grace and Hillary were both there with their families, but Shelley's family didn't come this year. So it was so great to see the one's there, but we definitely missed Shelley's fam. We really didn't do anything too exciting. Unfortunately it rained pretty much the entire time we were there, which was not very fun for the kids. But we made the best of it! Thank goodness for Pops and his constant entertainment. We did do our annual traditions of going to the Christmas Eve service at our home church. Then we had a yummy "tasty dainties" dinner and opened presents. Christmas morning Santa had come and then we did our annual Christmas Dinner at lunchtime. It was lots of fun. Then we went home for a few days before heading to Jacksonville Beach, FL for Jon & Rachel's wedding. The Rehearsal Dinner was New Year's Eve and was beautiful and delicious. Then the wedding was on January 2nd. The wedding and reception were absolutely beautiful! And of course Josh was in the wedding, but so was Bryant. He was a ring-bearer and did an awesome job! He's such a good kid. It was a fun wedding week getting to spend time with friends and family. I was decent about taking pictures at Christmas, but absolutely horrible at taking pictures during the wedding events. I guess we were just so busy…and I was honestly exhausted. So I will share the Christmas pictures I have…and the like two pictures I took at the wedding. Oops! Enjoy. :)
