Christmas in Toccoa

We made it to Toccoa at about 11:30pm on Christmas Eve.  Christmas day fell on a Sunday this year so we changed our "normal" Christmas routine a little so that we would be able to go to church Christmas morning.  It was definitely a little different, but we were thankful to be able to all worship together and celebrate Christ's birth with other believers.  

It was fun to all be in church together.  Emily and Jacob did SO well.  Emily only wanted Uncle Brett to hold her during the sermon and she actually stayed really quiet.  Bert and I were quite impressed!  


Family picture.  Emily 20 months and Hannah 32 weeks in-utero.  


A few pictures we got of our sweet girl.  She was so excited!  



Emily did pretty good with the presents.  She was really excited at first and would open a couple, but then she was done....she was ready to run around.:)  She was still really excited about everything and just enjoyed all the people being in one room.  


We decided to watch the Lion King together one afternoon.  Emily was so entertained by these candy canes.  She would take them one at a time to each person in the room (taking breaks to dance to the music in the Lion King of course).  


Emily loved helping Jacob play in his exersaucer.


Enjoying our Christmas meal together.  


Papa Stan and Mimi ended up holding Jacob and Emily for the end of the meal.  Don't feel bad for them.  They enjoyed every minute of it.  


Emily hanging out with the Sanders...


A few pictures of Jacob and Emily...Jacob is 4 1/2 months here.  



Uncle Stan with his niece and nephew.  They love their "Uncle 'Tan."  


We had a great Christmas!  We were actually able to have 3 full days with everyone there.  It was definitely wild with a 20 and 4 month old, but we so enjoyed being together!  We're looking forward to having our Hannah with us next Christmas!
