Christmas Day in Charleston with Noni and family

On Christmas Day we went to brunch at Zeke and Brett's house and then headed to Charleston to spend the day with Noni, John Paul and the girls. It is the first Christmas with out Kurt so Noni decided to do something different this year to keep her spirits up. She took her new camper to Mt Pleasant and set up camp (AKA a large dog kennel) and spent most of her time in between camp and John Paul's house. We got to John Paul's house about 3 pm and Dorcas came with Maya and Ella shortly after. We all hung out, opened gifts and ate a delicious dinner. The kids played so well together. John Paul did not want a regular Christmas tree because it would take up too much room so being his artsy self, he made his own. It is so neat and right up his alley. The kids loved it!!!
After dinner we put the kiddos in jammies and headed to the James Island Festival of Lights. As always it was top notch. By far the best lights I have ever seen. We had a really good time. There is nothing like hearing the kids so excited! When we got back to John Paul's house the kids were all sacked out and it was time to head back to Sumter. It was such a nice Christmas Day and I am really glad we all got to be together.
