Happy 9th Birthday Andrew!
Today is Andrew's 9th birthday. He was born on the very last day of the century - 1999.He was the sweetest baby and still such a sensitive and sweet little boy. I hate to see him grow up. Since his birthday is exactly one week after Christmas, it is a hard time of year to plan a party. So for the past several years, we have had his "friends" birthday party on his "half' b-day in June.
For breakfast he wanted Krispy Kreme, for lunch Big Ed's pizza and for dinner we went with Mamaw, Mimi & Papaw to O'Charley's. I made his birthday cake - (I even made homemade cream cheese icing!) We are going this weekend to spend the night in Pigeon Forge at the new Wilderness in the Smokies ~ indoor waterpark!

Christmas Eve candle light service
Christmas just wouldn't be "Christmas" without going to church. Since we have to be at Mamaw's house for Christmas Eve dinner, we don't have time to go to the service at our church. We have been going to Grace Baptists candle light service for a few years now. Our good friend Sara Cox is always a very beautiful angel during the manger scene. Emma Grace was so proud to get to hold her own candle this year. She also found a very pretty manger scene outside the sanctuary.

Emma Grace & the manger
Ever since last year Emma Grace has loved this manger that our church was getting rid of. She plays with and talks to her baby jesus all year. The manger has been stored away and I just got it back out last week. I dressed her in her Angel dress today and she just loved on that baby all afternoon.
But the angel to them, "Do not be afraid, I bring you good tidings of great joy that will be for all people. today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you. You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Luke 2: 8-20.
