Due to our home renovations we celebrated Christmas with Dave's side of the family at Susan's house in Simpsonville this year. When we arrived Alyssa wasn't feeling well and ended up at the doctor on Saturday morning with strep. :( Thankfully the antibiotic kicked in quickly and she was almost back to normal by Sunday morning!
Our annual family picture after all of the gift opening . . and boy was there some gift opening. We were very blessed with not only all of the loot and delicious meal, but also for being able to celebrate together as a family.

And once the meal was over and the gifts were opened, this is how the kids spent the rest of the afternoon . . . big kids on the mini ipad
. . and little kids playing in the doll house!
Once things were cleaned up, we all went to the Greenville Santa Run. It was quite chilly, but we made it! Grammy kept the little kiddos while everyone else did the night run. It was not marked very well and was quite a bit over a 5k, but hey, at least we got light up Santa hats. :)
After the race we headed to a local house to see the amazing light display. I was soaking wet from the race so I opted to stay in the car, but the rest of the crew loved seeing the lights and having hot cocoa and popcorn that the homeowners were handing out. Then it was back to Susan's for dessert!
What a fun weekend. A huge thank you goes out to Susan for letting us stay at her house two nights while our floors were being finished . . . and for putting up with the mess of having so many people in your house at Christmas!
