This is going to be a jumbled mess. The pictures are not in order so bare with me! I will explain as I go! I can go ahead and say that my little family of three had a FABULOUS Christmas. Minus all the sickness that lead up to the big celebration we were able to spend it with family and friends and celebrate what really matters.
I want to mention the toys for tots dinner that Grant and I host every year. I didn't get any pictures but we had over 20 folks that showed up and brought toys. This is our 3rd year doing this at 5 seasons and it is always a good time. We have done this in the past at our tacky sweater party but b/c everyone lives in different areas of ATL it was easier to do this at a central location. This year my Mom came in town and kept Mac so Grant and I could have a night out on the town. We stayed at the Ritz in downtown and it was beautiful!!!! I hate I didn't get any pictures but it was a great night!
Now...a quick recap before I move on to the pictures. Christmas is the only holiday that we split. We all spend Thanksgivings together and we flip flop every year for Christmas. This year was the Chiles year so we make the trip to Warner Robins the Thursday before Christmas. We spent two nights in WR and headed home on Christmas Eve morning. We joined Grant's parents on Christmas Eve night for the Candle light service and we were able to wake up on Christmas morning at our own house for Mac's first Christmas! After our Christmas we headed to Rick and Eve's for Christmas and a wonderful Christmas lunch and then came back to our house where Grant's parents, my parents, bother and nephew came by to have dessert. I love it when we can get both sides together!!
Enjoy the pictures!!
Like I said...these are WAY out of order.
Nana and Papa (my folks) gave Mac a GIANT stocking. It is almost as tall as I am and all the stuff below was stuffed inside!

I love the bow on his head - haha!!
The theme of Christmas year was paper...all he wanted to do was rip the paper!
Mac and his Cousin Stephen! I hate that all of my pictures of the two of them are blurry! Mac LOVES him and just laughs whenever he is around!
We are so incredibly blessed! Christmas this year was so much fun with Mac and I can't wait until next year!
