Christmas was just a little different this year. We woke up late (a Christmas miracle with a toddler!) and made cinnamon rolls. Then we just crashed and watched Rudolph and Frosty that Grandma sent us. During Bella's nap, I gave Steve a shower and got all of our bags ready, and once she woke up, we headed over to our friends' house.

Dinner was at the parents of Trey, our youth pastor. Trey and Whitney were friends before Steve's accident, but they have just gone above and beyond and have been so supportive through this process. We were told to call Trey's parents, Big Daddy and Ginger, which pretty much made my Christmas all by itself! Their Christmas tradition is to have crab legs for dinner, and it was amazing! I brought along some more "normal" food for Steve - ham, mac 'n' cheese, and a salad, but I definitely had my fill of crab!

We will definitely never forget this Christmas! We missed our family so much, but our friends were so generous and welcoming. Whitney even had presents for us so that we wouldn't feel left out when the family opened all of their presents. Trey's mom, Ginger, gave us a get us "crab leg crackers" so that we would always remember this day. Such a wonderful family!

Our official Christmas Day picture. For the record, the baby is not ours; Charlotte Faith is Trey and Whitney's youngest. Steve was the designated "baby holder" while the rest of us were clearing the table.

Sounds like fun! My plan was to make cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning as well, but I couldn't find the recipe. Care to share yours? :) I hope Steve is feeling better...and your family looks cute with another baby in the pic! haha.
