Christmas with the Hawkins

Sunday morning we braved the snow and drove to Columbia. We had a great night celebrating Christmas with the Hawkins. The Southern Christmas dinner at Kathy and Tommy's was fabulous and we had a very entertaining Chinese auction. It was so nice to be with see everyone! Zann and I spent the night with Pop and had our traditional breakfast with him at IHOP. I forgot to take pictures but will hopefully get some from Kathy. Monday we headed to Zann's parents house in Charleston. The weather was in the 50's and was a great change for us. We had the best time and I wish we could have stayed longer!

Tuesday night the Hawkins had a beaufort boil at their house. It was a great party with great food and friends.

Erin was freezing and I thought it was warm...maybe it was the gluhwein.

College room mates! Miss you!

Our wonderful friends

William loved when the marsh mellows caught on fire

Nothing better than standing around the fire with good friends and

listening to good music! McGregor and Charles's band came out and set up right in the back yard. They are amazing and everyone loved listening to them all night!

What a pretty doggy

The picture perfect setting at the Hawkins house we had to drive away from to the snow
And Santa even made a special early stop before we had to leave. Zann got some great ski gear and I got some beautiful pieces to our China.

But we made it home for Christmas Eve dinner with the fam and Gaga and Papa

And made it for midnight mass which was sooo beautiful!
