Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a little different this year. Stanton and Shirley have the Flu and Pneumonia, so Christmas Eve was cancelled. We went to Children's mass as planned. Then, we came home and whipped up a non planned, throw together Christmas Eve dinner. Then, we let Conner open his gifts from us. He threw out his reindeer food, set out cookies and milk, and placed his magic Santa key on the front door knob. We watched a movie and then went to bed!

 

Conner's Daddy made him a swingset for Christmas!

Nashville Christmas

We spent two nights in Nashville to take in the Christmas season. We went down Friday, checked in, and went to one of our favorite restaurants, Caney Fork.

Saturday, we went to Ice, twas the night before Christmas. Then, we went to see the Rockettes, Then lunch at Wildhorse saloon. That night, we went to the large lights show set to music as you drive through in your car. Afterwards, we went to the Opryland hotel and spent some time.

St. Nick even found his way to our hotel.
