Merry Christmas

{via}

We're here in Savannah for Christmas! I've taken a little bit of time off from the blog and I will continue to do so for a couple days as I plan on spending my time enjoying family and celebrating Christmas. 

If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you take some time today to remember and appreciate why we all get together with family and friends, why we give gifts, and why this day even exists. Hooray for Jesus's birth!

Merry Christmas

Daily Threads: Snow Day

If I follow your blog and you've posted pictures with snow in the background, it's most likely that I have commented on the snow's gorgeousness and my jealousy. Well, guess what people... I got a present late Christmas night that carried on into Sunday and it was 12 inches of snow! The gift that keeps on giving. The Christmas miracle. It's mine and it has completed my Christmas visit to North Carolina. I could not have enjoyed our last day here any more. 

We lounged around all morning drinking coffee by the fire and watching the snow fall (church was cancelled). When lunch time rolled around I decided I should probably shower and get dressed. We've had a blast! Playing in the snow, watching the dogs play in the snow, and just admiring it's beauty. Around lunch dad started prepping for dinner. He fried a {most delicious} turkey and grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins all came over to spend time with us during out last night in NC. It was wonderful. 

Tomorrow we hit the long road back down to Alabama. The snow has stopped and the interstates are cleared, but getting to the interstate makes me nervous. Bad weather in general makes me nervous when I am in a car, but black ice is scary. I'm going to let my man handle getting us to the interstate and I can take over from there. When we get home and settled I have some uploading and editing to do then I cannot wait to share our Christmas in NC with you!

It's Christmas Eve! That's so exciting. We've already started the day making a jalapeño sausage dip and sausage balls. We're a big finger food family during this time of year. My two little cousins are over now and we are about to make cookies for Santa! Later tonight we have Christmas Eve Service then my mom's side of the family all head down to my grandma's house (you know, the one who taught me to make biscuits!) and all the children get to open their gift from their uncles and aunts! They usually hear Santa every Christmas Eve as well. 

Tomorrow we will be waking up to see what Santa brings us, then we will have a big Christmas Day breakfast over at my cousin's house, then it's movies, football, and snacks the rest of the day! I love Christmas!

I hope all of you have a spectacular day today and tomorrow. Enjoy your family and friends and take some time to remember why we all come together on this special day. 

Merry Christmas!

The Jackson Family Tradition

Last year we started the tradition of Elf-ing ourselves. Last year we did a traditional Christmas Jingle, this year, we've opted for more of a hip-hop 80's celebration. We really get down around here. And honestly, this is a normal day around our house.

And just for the record, I taught Maeby that Butterfly move she busts out.
