Tybee Island,GA for Bowman Christmas!

This year we spent Christmas with the Bowmans on Tybee Island near Savannah, GA. Since Craig's oldest brother is a pastor in Savannah, we go to him for Christmas so that he can perform all his pastor duties and we can still all be together. We stayed in the cutest little cottage on the island that was grownup friendly, kid friendly, and maybe most importantly- pet friendly- which Zoe greatly appreciated. Here is the cutest cottage on Tybee Island:

We had some wonderful family time full of karaoke and homemade hot chocolate, did lots of resting and relaxing- which Baby Bowman greatly enjoyed- and spent a few very windy moments playing on the beach. It is always fun to watch the Bowman grandkids- Thomas, Shelton, and Hughston- open their presents for Christmas. Here's a personal favorite of Hughston:

We wrapped up the week with a wonderful Christmas Eve service at Brannon's church, a delicious Christmas lunch thanks to Carol, and a final birthday celebration for Brannon on Saturday before heading back to Montgomery. A good time was had by all!

Coleman Family Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with the Coleman side of the family a little early this year and got a wonderful surprise from my grandmother, also known as Mamaw. For years and years, we have always received beautiful gifts from Mamaw that she has knitted, sewed, crocheted, you name it- she can do it. She made my dress for St. Mary's graduation- she is amazing! This year she surprised Craig and me with a beautful white, crocheted baby blanket. It is perfect! We can't wait to use it in about 7 months!
