Christmas 01/09/2008
 

Our first Christmas in Summerville was a thrill!  Most families that have three kids between the ages of one and seven usually have several traditions they have established but for the Browning family there were a lot of first. 

Our season started with a wonderful gift from a new friend Alice, who I worked with at LifeWay.  She offered to pay for our family to go to James Island State Park where each Christmas they have a incredible light show.  That night was amazing.  As we road through the park looking at the lights the backdoor of our van was filled with fog and fingerprints.  The kids heavy breathing and faces glued to the wintery window began our Christmas memories.

Tarah and the kids were able to visit her sudo-grandparents (the Busby's) in Gainsville, FL.  Unfortunately during this trip I saw Ethan's real commitment to the Gamecocks (and to his dad) when I viewed the video tape of him doing the Flordia Gator chop.  They also traveled to Syvania, GA to hang out with Aaron, Pam, Dawson, Landon, and Madson (Tarah's brother's family).  This trip was filled with chasing chickens, chaos, and swinging down a pulley.

The best memories where at home.  Being a dad is great.  Putting up our Christmas tree as a family for the first time, buying presents for mommy, and playing tic-tac-toe every day with reindeer and santa figures will be etched in my mind for years.

Another trip to Barnwell and a trip to Myrtle Beach brought the season to an end.  Back to school and taking down the Christmas decorations concluded our season.  What is coming up next?  Stay tuned to find out.

Great web site Will! I'm really glad you linked with the others Summerville. It is always great to see and hear the things that are happening for you guys. Love the all pictures and hearing about Christmas. 2008 will be GREAT and can't wait to see all the ways God will bless and care for you and Tarah, the Kids and The Journey Chruch. You remain a bleesing to so many. Tell Ethan and Piper that Bob say's hey and that I can't wait to see them, Jed and their Mom & Dad. You are always in my prayers.
The Gamecock's link is great too. ( Don't tell Clay I said that :) .
