Christmas in Hattisburg

This weekend was so much fun. Mason, Little Sampson, and I left Saturday around lunch time and headed south for Christmas with his side of the family. We had such a great time. We spent the evening at Susie's house. I really wish I would have taken pictures because it is unreal how beautiful it is. I can't wait to see the house when it is completely finished. 

He loves to smile for pictures!

For dinner Mason's mom made her very famous craw fish sauce and we had prime ribs, veggies, baked potatoes, and rolls. I baked my signature apple pie. It was delicious if I say so myself and it is literately the easiest recipe out there.

After dinner we headed to Mason's Nanny and PawPaw's house. We exchanged gifts there and I had so much fun watching Nanny open her gifts. She was so excited and happy. It was so cute. Sampson and Pawpaw really took up with each other on this visit. Haha. I have the cutest picture to prove it. Sunday morning we got ready and headed to church with Mason's Mom and grandparents. It's a tradition I hope we can do each year. Mason's grandparents were so happy to have us with them at church.  Immediately after church we hopped in the car and headed back to our house. It was a short 3 hour drive for me. I slept almost the whole way. Once we got home, Mason was glued to the tv because it was the last week of his fantasy football league... This was a perfect opportunity for me to clean the house.

Little Sampson loves getting attention from Pawpaw!

Since Christmas is on a Wednesday this year work must go on...I have to work today (Monday), half a day tomorrow(Christmas Eve) and then off on Wednesday (Christmas) and back to work on Thursday and Friday. So that means on Tuesday and Wednesday we are heading to Athens to spend some time with my side of the family. I can't wait! I love Christmas. It's also very special because this is our first Christmas married. I'm excited to for Mason to experience my families traditions. Last year we were dating and Mason and his dad's family with on a cruise for the Holiday. I remember being happy it was Christmas but also being so sad because he was not there with me. It didn't help that I had strep throat too...ugh! It's safe to say this Christmas should be a lot better! 

Hope everyone has a great day!!
