Christmas time

Chrismas is my favorite Holiday. I love to decorate every nook and cranny. here's some picture of my home.





My TV. the Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas fireplace playing on it.



My China Cabinet, all my santa mugs, vintage angels and my Martha Stewart Chrismas dishes on display.


On my kitchen windosill. A little winter scene



On my kitchen cabinet.

Christmas mugs. So cute.



This is an eggnog set, with my pie bird

The top of the computer desk, the gingerbread houses the kids made and a framed picture of the girls with Santa




On Christmas Eve, we left Santa some cookies and put out the magic Santa key so he could come in, We don't have a chimney




and santa came!!!!!!!!!!!!!








Nick got a metal detector.

ICE and Nick's Birthday

Nick had a whole week of celebrating his birthday. Lucky kid! on the weekend before his birthday, Joe took him to go buy his present. A real bow.



We went to the Bass Pro shop and even got to visit with Santa




NOW THIS! is called fancy shooting. Here's Evie in a dress and heels shooting with a pink rifle


For lunch Nick picked the Aquarium restaurant


yes, that's a shark












On his actual Birthday we went back to Nashville and surprised Nick with a trip to see ICE, 200 million pounds of ice,




its 9 degrees inside, they give you parkas to wear and tell you to keep your camera near your body, its possible for the lens to crack!








The Ice slide was cool








After the Ice we decorated cookies with gingy









After the decorating, we headed to the Opryland Hotel. they have many photo ops with the Dreamworks characters and a show.

at Shreks house



The hotel is HUGE and BEAUTIFUL. it even has waterfall and a river running through it.











and after a very busy day, we went back home for some cake!




HAPPY 10TH NICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
