Christmas in the Palmetto State

For Christmas Kurt, Leighton, Sutton, and myself, made the long trek back to the East Coast. We stayed in South Carolina for a week during the Christmas Eve/Christmas holiday.

During this time we decided to get Leighton baptised by the same priest as Sutton and in the same church and gown as Sutton, my sisters Hannah and Rachael, my brother Jimmy, and I wore for our Christening. She was such a big girl (no crying) and did really well throughout the whole service!! Sutton was really well behaved during the service as well, although, she did try to run towards the front of the church, where there was a children's nativity scene set up, during the sermon!:)




Later in the week a group of my old high school friends, that are now spread out from West to East Coast, gathered for a wonderful surprise birthday dinner. It was so great to see everyone and talk about how much we've changed and laugh about how much we are still the same!




Christmas, of course, was extremely exciting for our little Sutton. From the decorations, to the movies, songs, books, and presents, every part of Christmas was one big joyous time. There is nothing better than experiencing Christmas through the eyes of a 3 year old!!








Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful and happy holiday! Enjoy the pictures!

Love to you all,
Courtney
