Gatlinburg Aquarium

We had a fun adventure today to the aquarium in Gatlinburg, Tennessee....The one really cool shot of the boys in the middle of a tank was a round tank with a hole in the middle so kids could "get up in it" the boys weren't tall enough...so I was underneath them holding them up! OUCH!

Christmas Vacation

Over the River and Through the Woods to Nana and Papa's we came! Well....We did it! We traveled across the country with 3 "babies" in their carseats for 14 hours without stopping! Well, we stopped....but not for long. Actually only 3x in all. We stopped at one McDonalds close to Little Rock for some play time...then all 3 went to sleep shortly after and slept the rest of the way to Knoxville, Tennessee! Whew....driving at night worked! I have captured many many smiles today. I was reminded today how much fun Christmas is with children. We celebrated Christmas Eve and Morning with my mom and dad in their home...and then went to my brother's house Christmas night to celebrate with his wife's mom and dad. I have included lots of smiles in today's post....as well as ZAD having his very first meal at the "big table" in a "big boy chair" as well as this priceless expression to opening one of his Christmas gifts.

Santa Claus is Coming To Town

These pictures are from a couple of Santa visits. The picture of all 3 kids is with the infamous NorthPark Santa at NorthPark Mall in Dallas. For those of you who may not be familiar...my friend went at 1 pm to get us a number for our picture and we were up about 7 pm!

Merry Kissmas!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

The kids went to a Birthday Party for Jesus Friday night while Mom and Dad went to two Christmas Parties...AKA...A GROWNUP DATE! All day long..Z would ask about the much anticipated Birthday Cake! And LJ's Christmas Tee didn't last for too long at the party. Oh well....The best news is I fit back into one of my favorite pre-baby party outfits! LOL!

Christmas Begins.....

Today very unexpectedly we headed out as a family in the middle of the afternoon to the Gaylord Texan to catch some Christmas Magic. It definitely a magical place. I am a little disappointed the boys did not smile for any of the pictures....but I do think they enjoyed the trains, lights, and ice cream. And we didn't have any trouble getting Little Missy to Smile..Definitely worth the drive......and a fun family adventure!
