For the first time ever, the Hardison clan met in Birmingham to celebrate Christmas this year. With J, K and Sam being in Birmingham with Will on the way, and Benj and Morgan living in Tuscaloosa, it definitely made the most sense for us all to convene there :) Convenient for us as well because it allowed us to sneak in a few visits with some of our Magic City friends.
M and I spent Thursday and Friday night at Ed and Shawn's at the Manor. It's nice staying there because we get a whole floor to ourselves :) They hosted their annual Christmas party at their house on Friday night, so we were thrilled that we were able to go and catch up with all of Matthew's old co-workers/our friends.

Saturday until Sunday afternoon was Hardison family Christmas. We spent the day lounging around at J and K's, watched White Christmas Saturday night, and opened presents Sunday afternoon after church. Christmas was complete with our normal Christmas dinner of homemade fajitas and ice cream cake :) So very thankful we could all get together...even though it was short! We cannot WAIT for baby Will to get here at the end of this month!

| Avery stole out like a bandit with tons of gifts/toys from her Mimi and Papa, Uncle J and Aunt K, and Uncle Benjamin and Aunt Morgan (or as Sam likes to call her... Wheaty :) |
The last photos are from the last of Matthew's family gatherings, the lunch on the 26th at Grandma and Granddaddy Wayne's. It was the biggest it had been in years! Matthew's cousin Bill was a HUGE Avery fan and wanted to hold her all afternoon! Can't say I blame him!
