Christmas Eve family dinner

This year we celebrated a beautiful Christmas Eve on the lake at my Aunt and Uncle's house. Ava had a blast getting reacquainted with some cousins and enjoying the fall like temperatures outside. It even looked a little like fall with all the leaves laying on the ground. Much different look than we have at home for sure. Ava got to jump on the trampoline with her cousins...Dax, Brooke, Riley, and Halle....it was a big deal to her that the trampoline was outside. She got a smaller one for Christmas that hangs out in our basement.

This was our first time meeting my cousin's youngest son, Riley! He was a doll and so much fun to play with.

Here's my dad. Pawpaw always has the job of carving the meat. He's done it so many years, he's definitely a PRO!!

There's nothing like a Christmas in the south. I love the butter beans, corn, corn bread dressing, ham, turkey, fried oysters...oh, my belly hurts just thinking about it all! YUM!! I hope that each of you were blessed to spend a happy holiday with your family.
