This blog spot is primarily a photo/memory album for our family. It also serves as a way for us to share what is going on in our lives with our friends and family that don't see us on a regular basis. Ashley, Worth, Ellie, Emma, and Mack
Christmas came and Christmas went! It went by so fast I feel like we need a do over. We started off our celebration in Tifton at the Bowers house. Unfortunately, the Berryman's were unable to attend because Jay tested positive for COVID. Being down 3 grandchildren made Mia and Dubs' house slightly quieter than it normally is for Christmas.
Christmas Eve we spent the afternoon on the golf course as a family. The weather was gorgeous and you couldn't have asked for a better time to all be together. After golf, we headed to church, then the Waffle House for our annual Christmas Eve dinner, and then finally we rode around and looked at some pretty amazing Christmas lights. Once we were home, Mack and Emma were able to distribute their reindeer food in the front yard before Ellie sat down to read them "The Night Before Christmas." The reading of this used to be my job, but I got the boot this year.
Christmas Day brought a lot of joy and rest. We opened gifts after examining what Santa brought, and we had a wonderful brunch with Grandma and Papa. The day was very relaxing with nothing really going on but Christmas movie watching and toy playing.
Opening gifts was a slight few levels quieter without the Berrymans there.

The Cousin Crew was missing a few, but we got 1/2 of them in a picture on Mia's couch.
Christmas Eve golf for the Bowers. Worth and Ellie were a team.
Emma and Mack were a team. Emma is getting better and better every time she plays.
Mack was glad to get back on the golf course. He misses the weekly clinics because of guitar lessons.
It was a tie!

Mack and Emma successfully covered the yard in Reindeer food for Santa's Reindeer.

Mack wanted Santa to feel welcome, so he made him a sign and hung it on the mantel.
Santa made it!
Santa was generous enough to give Mack his own iPad, so maybe now I can have mine back.
More Legos for Emma!
Mack got a new baseball bat which he definitely needed.
Ellie and Emma got a BIG surprise this year! Sorry this video will not center on the page.
My favorite part of gift opening is opening up what the kids bought for us at their candy cane store at school. They really put so much thought into it, and I love every minute of it!
Ellie enjoying a "Daddybucks" instead of Starbucks. (This is Worth's name for it, obviously.)
Grandma and Papa came bearing gifts!
Everyone needs a whoopee cushion pool float!
Both Grandmothers hit the jackpot with Ellie this year.

They tackled a 1000 piece puzzle this Christmas. It took the entire month...
