Cookies, concerts, Christmas parties!

What a weekend!

Friday night we attended a Christmas cookie decorating party that some friends of ours from church threw for the kids. Jaxson liked adding sprinkles to his cookie, so by the time he was done, you could barely see the cookie underneath! Santa came to the party and brought goodies for the kids. He had lots of fun! After we left, I had to study for my Anatomy final, which was Saturday morning. I'm very happy to be done with Saturday classes! I love school, but Saturday classes are definitely not my thing! Afterwards, I made a couple of quick stops to swap Jaxson's new shoes for a different size, get Jax a Santa hat, grab some groceries at Publix, and get my hair cut. We had pictures at 3:00. I am very excited because I think Lori did an amazing job! If you get a chance you can view our pictures by clicking here. Jaxson stayed with Eric's mom (Nay-Nay), and Eric and I met up with some friends for dinner and went to the Casting Crowns Christmas Celebration. It was absolutely amazing! We were blown away! We both love Casting Crowns, and they put on an awesome show with the help of Avalon, Natalie Grant, and Denver and the Mile High Orchestra, and Michael English. Sunday afternoon we took Jaxson to the NICU Christmas party. The staff of St. Vincent's hosts this annual gathering for their former patients to see their former podmates, doctors, and nurses. We rushed home and baked cookies to take to some of our friends' annual Christmas Vacation party. We ate great food and had great fellowship! In my opinion, the fellowship is the most exciting part of the holidays! (And of course the food is a very close second!)

I almost forgot to mention the SEC Championship game was Saturday. Alabama lost. So much for the possibility of a National Championship this year. Darn. I hate that. I hope you can detect the sarcasm because I don't think there was anyone in the restaurant as happy as we were!

I'll post some pics in a bit. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!
