Whew!! We are back home after traveling over 1.6 thousand miles to visit family over Christmas. I thought about dividing our Christmas into posts but I'm just going to group it all together! We arrived to Charlotte on the night of the 23rd and began celebrating then!
Christmas Eve
We went to the Christmas Eve service at Carmel
Then we headed over to Dad and Kendall's to have Christmas dinner and open gifts with them! I didn't take any other pictures besides the pretty decorations but we had fun, as always! ;-)
Christmas Day
We woke up Christmas Day at Mom's and we had our usual tasty breakfast and opened presents together! I didn't take any pictures that morning (boo!) but shortly after we hit the road towards Salemburg for a Royal Christmas!
We loved spending time with Mom's family that night and watched our very last Christmas movie of the season, Four Christmases. Saturday morning we woke up and headed to Craigsville for Christmas with Andy's family!
Isabell Christmas
We had appetizer foods (Pepperoni Night - as the tradition is called) and watched the Virginia Tech bowl game Saturday night. We were happy that Virginia Tech's long time coach won his very last football game!
We woke up and had breakfast together Sunday morning before opening presents. Andy's parents always number everyone's gifts so we all open them in order. It was a fun way to make present opening last longer! Unfortunately, the Panthers lost their first game of the season that afternoon leaving them 14-1. We're still holding out hope for the Super Bowl!!
Sunday night, we wrapped up Christmas festivities by having a game night! It was so much fun playing Scattergories and Taboo. We had many laughs. We woke up early this morning and came back home. We are both exhausted, but we feel so very blessed. Thankful for a wonderful Christmas with our families!!
