My Life in Photos: Christmas Recap

Well it was another successful Christmas in Indiana! This holiday continues to be my favorite and my family doesn't disappoint! We left Atlanta around 2:00 pm on Friday afternoon and arrived in Franklin at 10:00 pm. I thought for sure Friday would be a terrible drive. Special thanks to my boss for letting me leave early!

I spent Friday night and Saturday morning with Dylan's family. It is tradition (don't ask me when this started) in my family to have lunch at a local bar in Franklin. My family and some close friends gather for lunch and a few bloody mary's before starting a marathon of Christmas celebrations.

After lunch we went straight to my Grandma's for Christmas with my dad's side of the family, then headed to the lake for the rest of the weekend. Last year we had our first Christmas on Grandview lake in the new house! I LOVE this new tradition. On Christmas Eve we invited a few lake friends over for a little holiday cheer.

You can never have too much Christmas decor! :)

Playing Dirty Bingo... as in people stealing prizes from each other!

The big gift of the weekend... Bucky Balls! More on that in the next post.

Christmas morning started with gifts, gifts and more gifts. I think I said it a thousand times that day... our family went overboard this year! We are very blessed indeed. The marathon continued throughout the day.
It really didn't feel like Christmas when Dylan and James decided to break out the wet suits and test out a new water toy...

James' new paddle board!

After their dip in the water we prepared for Christmas dinner... another favorite! We continued the traditions with lottery tickets, party crackers and Brandy Alexanders! We had a few $1 winners at the table, but Abby hit the jackpot when she scratched off $100! Here are a few more photos throughout the night.
