Holiday Happenings

We had an eventful weekend. Saturday night after a yummy Mexican dinner, we took the kids out to Beech Bend Park to see the Holiday Light Show and for the kids to ride a few rides. They had a BLAST!!!


Just one of the many light displays that were out there. This was one of the last ones before you park and go into the amusement park.
Emma and Ethan going for a little "drive" on the school bus.
We had to keep Sydney all bundled up. It was COLD!!!
As soon as Emmaline saw the "Let's Go Round" she picked out the blue horse. She could hardly wait until her Daddy got the tickets so she could get on it.
Ethan and Emma at the end of a fun filled frosty night.

Sunday, after church and lunch, we took Emmaline up to Smiths Grove to see our favorite Santa Clause. She was beyond excited and couldn't wait to tell him what she wanted for Christmas.
Emmaline posed for a couple of pictures before we left for church.
I just love the look on Emmaline's face in this picture. It's like she was daydreaming about what she would get from Santa on Christmas morning :-)
This one is just a good picture of the two of them. I got so many good ones this year it was hard to choose.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Can you believe that Christmas is ALMOST here! I am going shopping tomorrow with my DD, SIL and MIL. We are going to spend the day in Nashville, so I am hoping to get the bulk of Christmas shopping left done. I can dream can't I?!?!

Okay, I have to add this comment... Jonah was walking by and said who's that? And of course I said, "Emma" and he said, "Wow, she has grown up." He is right, she is growing up so fast.
