Early Epperson Christmas '09

(Kids jumping for the first time on there new trampoline from Mimi and Papaw)

This year we had an early Christmas with my side of the family.  We once again had a fantastic time together.  It wasn't too rushed and my brother, sister, and brother-in-law were able to visit from Friday, Dec. 18 - Monday, Dec. 21.  We all packed our bags and stayed under the same roof so that we wouldn't miss a moment together.  We planned our activities just like it was the real Christmas and had a blast.  We even got to fit in a special photo shoot so that we could have lasting memories of our family at the time in our lives (thanks mom and dad for that special gift).  This I loved about this Christmas were: spending time with my sister being pregnant with her first precious baby; having my son grasp the concept of Santa and being excited; watching Aaris love the season but also showing great appreciation and kindness for everything she was receiving and experiencing; giggle over how Skylyn toddled around trying to mimic everything her sister and brother were doing; getting great quality time with our extended family; having the help of everyone with my kids; and of course eating my mom's homemade candy.  :)
