Every year at Christmas, we get together with our friends, the Seelhammers. We have done this tradition every year for the past 13-14 years. We have been to Stone Mountain Christmas (Several times), Lake Lanier Lights (Several times), Lights at Life, ice skating in Centennial Park, movies, Callaway Gardens (several times), and even Rock City's Christmas celebration. Honestly, lately we are struggling to come up with something new and exciting. We now both have 2 kids each, so we are able to do some things "new" again. This year, we decided to do something really different and attend Johnson Ferry Baptist Church's Christmas package. There was food, fun, and festivities all rolled into one. We met and had dinner at the church. We rode the train, took a hayride, petted the live animals, watched a short nativity skit, slid the big slide, made some crafts, and enjoyed cookies and hot chocolate. There were carolers caroling, artists drawing, and dodge ball. There was a display of awesome gingerbread houses and a nutcracker dance along. There were concerts, Christmas movies showing with popcorn, karaoke, and many other things that we never had a chance to get to. They really had a lot of fun things going on, and did a great job of having a fun night of Christmas traditions for a wonderful price-free!!
Train ride
Anna was scared to go by herself down the big slide, but not with her new big buddy Jennifer. 
Anna participated in the Nutcracker dance. We got there late as we were so the tutus were gone but she got to prance solo across the stage riding a "reindeer"
The hayride
Gingerbread house and church heaven!
Craft time 
Anna is missing here as she had gone downstairs with Jennifer already. 
The animals are always my kids favorite things.
The Grand finale!! Jesus is born!!As usual, we had a wonderful time with our friends. Its too bad we don't live a little closer so we could get together a little more often(once a year is not enough!). Thanks JFBC for showing us and the community what Christmas is all about!
