Christmas Eve 2012

We spent Christmas Eve having a fun and special evening. First we went to the ICE display at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. We love this event!! We have been several times and it is always amazing. This year the theme was Shrek. After the fun event we headed to the Hotel and walked around the enormous place looking at the Christmas decorations. This hotel has a stream that runs thru it! Then we had a fancy dinner at the Old Hickory Steak House. What a great way to spend Christmas Eve!! ICE Display!!

Spring Hill Christmas Parade

Aiden was lucky enough to be in the Spring Hill Christmas parade with his football team. And the parade is a bit different since it is at night... so all the floats, etc were lit up. It was fun watching and he had a blast!! Here are few photos.. all of them are fuzzy - couldn't get the right setting for moving items at night :)... but you get the idea!!!

Such a fun night to start off the holiday season!!

Buddy Returns!!

December has started so our family Elf, Buddy, is back in action. He returned with a fun North Pole breakfast for the boys and a few gifts. The boys love looking for him every morning and seeing what he is up to. Wish he could stay around all year!!

Powdered sugar donuts, marshmallows and hot cocoa with mini marshmallows.

November Update

We had a great month! Aiden received an award for perseverance! He is such a hard worked and we are very proud!!! Evan along with the first grade classes performed a Barnyard Moosical! It was lots of fun and very cute. They also enjoyed a fun fall party with their classes. And, of course, we celebrated Thanksgiving with family. It was a great time. It was great for the boys to see their cousins! Kierlin is so cute and Rio is getting so big! We had a great weekend. We got to see the Rockettes in the wonderful Christmas show here in Nashville. And the kids had a blast! Enjoy the pics!! Aiden getting his award.

Evan was a cow....

Hope everyone out there had a great Thanksgiving and a great month!! Now onto December....
