Christmas on the Bayou

On Christmas eve, Bryan and I headed down to South Louisiana to spend Christmas with Bryan's family on the Bayou.  We had a great time with, of course, great food and quality time with the family!

Even MORE Christmas in Atlanta!!!

Sunday morning before we headed back to Mississippi, we had Christmas brunch with my Mom's paternal side of the family.  It is amazing how much family we fit into one weekend.  We were tired but had a blast!!  A very well worth-it trip and a great early Christmas!

Christmas is Atlanta

Before Christmas, Bryan and I made a whirlwind trip over to Atlanta to see all of my family for Christmas.  This is the first year that Bryan's schedule has allowed us to travel ANYWHERE for Christmas so we were very excited!  We usually spend Christmas at UMC....definitely better with family!!!  This first post is pictures of our Christmas with my Dad's side of the family.
