A Baby's 1st Christmas

Well, the Woodfins hope your family had as great of a Christmas as did ours!  Christmas started on Thursday for us.  All seven of us (Papa, Nana, Logan, Amber, Daddy, Mommy, and Luke) piled in my in-laws mini van that we borrowed and went to Paducah!  First of six grown adults aren't meant to ride in a mini van for 2 1/2 hours, but we had a great time.  Amber and I sang Christmas songs to the family, and everyone enjoyed laughing at our made-up words for the songs!  Anyway our first stop was at great grandpa and grandma's house!  They really enjoyed seeing Luke.  Great grandma also pulled out old pictures we got a kick at looking at all the old photos.  Our second stop was Friday at great Aunt Diane's house.  There we saw all the cousins, second cousins, aunts, and uncles.  It was a great day!  The adults even had fun.  We played dirty santa!  It was a lot of fun.  Friday afternoon we all piled back in the van to return  back to Belleville.  The trip went well for the most part we did hit some bad weather around Marion.  It was beautiful snow, but not fun to drive in.  Once back in town we went to Amber's house for Christmas Eve dinner.  It was such good food!  I want the recipe for the Mac N' Cheese.  After dinner we joined Amber's family at the Methodist church for a Christmas Eve service.  It was beautiful music.  We returned to her parents house for dessert.  Joe, Luke, and I ventured out at 10:30 for Christmas Eve services at the Episcopal church in Belleville.  The service was beautiful!  Once we returned Luke was to excited to go to sleep last night.  He didn't go to bed until 2:00 in the morning.  So we got a late start to opening Christmas this morning.  We had a great breakfast and good times with the family.  I hope all your families have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year Enjoy our photos!


Love,

Carly, Joe, and Luke
