Deck the Halls

This weekend was a time of Christmas joy. We were originally planning to go to the Christmas parade, but it was way too COLD. Yes I am a wimp. Instead, we talked the kids into going to Sweet CeCe's (I think that is what it is called) for some ice cream. For those who have not been there, you get to pick your own ice cream, serve yourself, and then add all kinds of stuff to your bowl. It can get quite disgusting, but is oh so tasty.

Saturday we put up the Christmas tree and decorations. The kids loved it and tried to be helpful. We were also blessed to get to spend the weekend with family. Alan's parents came in to meet Baby Owen and love on Katelyn and Ellie. They were such a help as playmates and it was nice to have an extra two pairs of hands on board. Today, we all ventured down to CPA to have lunch with Katelyn. We even let Ellie play hookie to go with us, followed by a trip to the Frist museum. It was a first for me, but I was very impressed by their Artquest area for kids. Ellie had a ball and entertained herself for a good hour creating art.

We will be sad to see them leave tomorrow :(

Doesn't this one look like Owen is smiling. Guess he loves his grandparents!!!!
