Christmas in Alabama

Picture this...Late December, almost Christmas and we are wearing short sleeves and sweating. This is a scene I would have never imagined growing up. It is Christmas time in Alabama where we eat Lasanga and Coconut Cake on Christmas eve and Ham, Turkey and green bean and corn casserole on Christmas Day.

On Christmas eve, we ate 2 meals and opened gifts at Cayce's Meemaw's house. As you can see Brad (Lindsey's husband) got a new Christmas tree wife-beater. Doesn't he look thrilled? Just kidding. The two that made out the best were Preston (Lindsey's soon to be born son) and Logan (Brittney's soon to be born daughter).




On Christmas day the Logan family traditionally heads over to Virginia and Erle's (Great Aunt and Uncle) house. We again eat 2 huge meals and play cards. This year we spent most of the day with Brittney and Matthew (Lindsey was working and Caryn was cruising). After Matthew and Brittney compared stomach sizes, Matthew won by an outey, we took this picture.


Caryn arrived after returning from her cruise the weekend after Christmas and we were able to take a rare family picture.

It was a quick weekend but we had alot of laughs. It is great to think that next year there will be two little ones running around. It is even better to think about how this time next year Logan will be bossing around Preston and he will cry when she comes into the room.
