Christmas!!

It seems like so long since last week started. We've had the opportunity to do a lot of things and hangout with a lot of friends and family. We're lucky to be surrounded by so many great people!

I wanted to show this picture right quick. While we were doing some Christmas shopping, Raegan spotted a duck in a store. She spots ducks and Elmo so quickly. She'll be saying one of those two words very excitedly and sometimes we'll finally see a tiny little duck on box in the grocery store. Anyway... she has an eye for these things. This duck was a little easier to spot (picture taken from my phone).


During Christmas week, Hannah took the week off (although I think she still did some work). And I worked Monday, Tuesday & Friday. On Tuesday night, we went out to eat with the Cohen's. That's the family that has Drew (born 9 days ahead of Raegan). (pictures taken from my phone)


Drew and Raegan exchanged presents. They both seemed to understand each other's fascination with Elmo. (they both gave Elmo gifts)


Then on Wednesday (Christmas Eve), we started the day by going over to the Martin's house where they were deep frying turkeys all day. They were letting people come by and bring-your-own-turkey. It was fun and Raegan really enjoyed playing with Zach.

That evening, we went to the Christmas Eve service at Buckhead Church. Our friends the McCants were there too. This was the first service that Raegan has ever sat through with us. She was so good and really seemed to enjoy it. She danced to the music but was pretty well behaved.

This is a slideshow of some of the pictures from Christmas Eve.



Then on Christmas morning, we got Raegan up. We ate and watched the Elmo Christmas movie. Then Raegan opened her gifts from us (or Santa... we're not sure yet). Anyway... then we drove to Hannah's parent's house. That was a lot of fun. We ate brunch, exchanged gifts, played games and hung-out. I think Raegan really enjoyed the attention over there. And I think she has finally warmed-up to the whole gang.

Here are pictures from Christmas Day.



Then over the weekend, we went out to the Lake and saw my parents and my grandmother (Granny). The Lake water is down for the winter but the Lake House is still a great place to visit and relax. Mom always makes great food and Raegan and the dogs always have a great time.

Here is a slideshow from the Lake.



One last thing I want to share. My sister-in-law, Jennifer, made a really nice Christmas gift for me. She made a photoshow about me and Raegan. Of course I had to watch it in front of people and of course it made me a little emotional. But I really like it. If you want to see the video, here it is below (be sure to have your sound on):
