What a wonderful Christmas!
Christmas Eve was great, starting with the entire family going to the Christmas Eve service at church. I mean the whole family. We took up three pews. After church we dashed to my parents house to eat a delicious dinner! Right before dinner we broke the news to the rest of the family (my parents already knew) that I am pregnant. We had a yummy meal including my mom's heavenly gumbo, red beans and rice and salad. Then the family surprised us December birthdays with a surprise party. We had two ice cream cakes! Only in Mississippi on Christmas can you eat an ice cream cake!
Then we opened a few small gifts and went home. Christmas morning at the House of Densmore, Steven and I got up early and opened presents. Then we got dressed and tootles over to my parents house where we opened presents with them and ate freshly baked cinnamon rolls and breakfast casserole.
After that we headed to my brothers house where we prepared a huge Christmas feast, ate like kings and then opened more presents. After leaving my brother's around 9:30 or so last night, Steven and I drove around and looked at Christmas lights and then came home and went to sleep! It was such a wonderful day. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family!
