Nashville Christmas

For Christmas, we got to spend 5 days in Nashville with the fam. Thankfully, Allen didn't have to work Christmas this year. Hopefully next year will be the same. Just one more Christmas with him in residency. Whoo hoo!! All my siblings came in town and the cousins had a great time playing together. This is Bella and Holly, with their hair newly fashioned by Nana.

Christmas morning, both of us wearing our new jewels.

Go Vols!

Thanks, Nana, for all my presents!

Where's Waldo?

Aunt Jennifer, the photographer. I think she won the camera duel.

Allen, this might be a little small.

Matching princess castles. A huge hit!

We love Belle dolls!

Mimi and Big Daddy with the grandchildren.

We are so grateful we have such loving and generous grandparents. Thanks Nana, Grandad, Mimi and Big Daddy, for a wonderful Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Last week Holly's little school put on a Christmas Carol Concert for us. It was the cutest, sweetest thing I have ever seen. Here are some pictures:

In this song, the kids were singing about sharing a blanket with baby Jesus.

Jingle Bells!

June enjoyed the music, too.

Holly has really taken an interest in learning letters. I have to brag on her expert letter craftsmanship:

This is her absolute favorite face to make lately.

There's my sweet girl.

June Bug turned 3 months this week! Look at that sweet face:

Still lots of love from Big Sis:

Here are some pictures from our "Christmas Card Photo Shoot" for your viewing pleasure:

We did end up with a good one. Hopefully you have received it in the mail. If you have not and would like one, just send me your address.

And, our Christmas tree in all its splendor, before it came crashing down the next day. I won't name names, but it involved a 3 yr. old who wasn't happy with where I had placed it. Said 3 yr. old was trying to move the baby swing, and somehow alleged 3 yr. old knocked over Christmas tree. Many tears (by mommy). But don't worry, folks, it's back up again. Three yr. old was not allowed to help decorate it, but I have to say she handled it very well.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
