Christmas Snapshots

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve, Britni, Zack, and Alex joined Dan, Abi, Mom, and me for gift exchange, Cream of Crab soup(will post recipe soon) Oyster Stew, and It's a Wonderful Life. On Christmas morning Abi crawled in bed with us around 7:30 and asked if we could get up around 9:00! (we didn't wait that long). Our "Elf on the Shelf", Rachael, set the table for breakfast and left Abi a snowman (made from powdered sugar doughnuts) and a letter reminding her that the best gift of Christmas is Jesus. We spent the day relaxing together and watching movies. The fun continued on the 26th with a get together with the Benderoth side of the family at our beach house. It was such fun getting all the kids together and spending time with my siblings and their spouses.  Here's a sampling of the last few days for you to share with us.

We pray you all had an opportunity to make some special family memories this year. Family is a gift that lasts forever. Merry Christmas from the Drehmer's
