Well Merry (day after) Christmas! I received a lovely camera for Christmas and thus, this post is packed full of pictures. If you're anything like me, it's easier to read a blog when it has pictures...or maybe you do like me sometimes and just look at the pictures. It's like reading a picture book...takes you back to your childhood, doesn't require as much brain activity...sounds like a win/win to me!
When we looked at the house we're living in, the first thing that caught me eye was the chalkboard wall. I decorated it for Thanksgiving, and decided I wouldn't erase it and until I took a picture of it. Thirty days and another holiday later...I took a picture of it. But the good thing about Thanksgiving and Christmas is that you can celebrate all year right?! Right.
Say hello to our tree.

Christmas Morning at church
Hooray for getting a Keurig for Christmas! Easy cleanup and delicious flavors! Thanks, WW!
I got WW tickets to see Needtobreathe and he is excited :)
Not sure what's going on in this picture, but I really got a kick out of the facial expressions.
Wesley tested out the new camera....

Wesley (whichever number he prefers)...waiting his turn patiently...
Can't wait to try this one out!
Our Christmas was a little different that we had planned. Typically Wesley's family gets together on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. However, this year Christmas came a bit early for the Wells family. Our niece was born 2 days before Christmas. What a wonderful (and cute) Christmas present, right? Since we weren't able to join all the baby fun in Louisiana, we skyped with the family on Christmas night.
Christmas dinner...Low Country Boil...yummy!
We had a wonderful first Christmas as married people. We are blessed with loving and generous families, as well as families that love the Lord and remind us all of the true meaning of Christmas. Wesley and I both agreed that one of our favorite things this Christmas was the Christmas Eve service at church. It was such a moving service and centered around the song "God and Man at Table are Sat Down". Our pastor painted a beautiful picture of creation and perfect communion, the fall of man, and the baby that made it possible for God and Man to commune together once more. It was a wonderful time of reflection during what can be a crazy and self absorbing time of the year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and (now) a Happy New Year!
