4th Annual Christmas Dinner

Have I mentioned that Chase and I have a wonderful circle of friends here in Birmingham? Most of our friends here were his fraternity brothers at the University of Alabama. Over the years, almost everyone has gotten married (and some even have families!) and we have become close friends. We are truly blessed with such wonderful (and quite comical) friends.

Every year we all get together the weekend before Christmas and have a Christmas dinner together. It's quite an orchestrated event to say the least. We take turns hosting between us and our friends Rod & Catherine. Everyone brings a dish, wine is poured...even their beloved housemother comes to join us! (God bless Miss C, none of us wives could have ever handled our husbands in college better than she could!) This year we were given a wonderful opportunity to share the Christmas Spirit with a family from the Middle East that converted from Islam to Christianity. We had a wonderful time shopping for their children and the parents as well as Christmas Angels.
