A Dickens of a Christmas

This past weekend in Franklin they have a festival (one of many during the year) called a Dickens of a Christmas. They have people dressed as characters from the Christmas Carol walking around, crafts, food, and horse drawn carriage rides. It was pretty neat to go see. This year it was a bit muggy and rainy out. Michael and Avery came over and went with us. There was also this bell choir that plays Christmas songs and Vail and Avery danced along to some of the songs. Then it was time for lunch, Chinese of course because that is what you think of when you say Christmas. After lunch Michael and Avery went home and the girls went down for naps. It was a pretty good Saturday.

Random Pics

News you can use from Nashville (or not)

Here are some various pics of our little one that have been taken over the past couple of weeks. They range from Avery cleaning the walls after displaying her art work on them to having her sleep in a cardboard box for doing so (just kidding Mom). Anyways, hope everyone is doing well and remember, only 23 days left to file your taxes!!!

I think they were watching Bob and Larry but whatever it was, the dogs didn't seem too interested. Just thought the picture was worth posting. Hope all have a great week. Just 11 days til BGH.

Sickness

We've been home almost a week and I am still tired from all the fun we had at Thanksgiving. We are all sick. Matthew has some kind of virus that I pray Vail doesn't get. We have all had a cough and Vail has a runny nose that I just can't seem to catch. It was so much fun to see everyone and to get to spend more than just a few minutes catching up. Things weren't as crazy as I thought they would be but it was nice to get home to a bit of peace and quiet. Vail is getting used to not having little people to play with so much. For some reason she talks about Michael all the time. I haven't figured that one out yet. Brian was noticably not there though. Miss you BR. We are trying to get some rest and get better before our trip to NM in three weeks. We are really looking forward to it. Hopefully we will see snow. Just not snow we have to drive in. I had some fun looking at boy clothes for my new nephew. It was a new experience. I hope you guys like camo! Well not much else here. Just fevers, runny noses, and a tired mommy who thought someone should update the website. Love you all!

Battle of the Bison

They can never be to young to enjoy a good basketball game. This photo made it to me via MO. I am trying to find out where they got the photo from, but anyway, this is Avery and Vail at the Lipscomb vs. Harding basketball game in Nashvegas last week. It was a little loud.
