Christmas and New Years 2011

This Christmas and New Years we had a fantastic time with family and friends! Here are a few pictures of our time in San Diego and Nashville!


Baden wasn't excited at all for Christmas this year :)

Avery couldn't resist all the sparkly ornaments

Upon opening Auntie Michelle's sparkly heart jeans and matching top, Avery immediately stripped off her pj's and pulled on Meesh's new outfit to model. Whereas Baden threw his new clothes aside with complete disinterest :) Hilarious watching the difference between them!



Yes, you are seeing that correctly! All four iPhones were out trying to catch the moment, what moment.... I don't remember!


Avery loved the new necklace her mommy gave me :) I did too!


Avery in her new cozy beanie. It was too cute to pass up!

He not only delivers pumpkins and mistletoe... he is a pie deliverer too!

Darla rocked her jewelry talent this year! With a black velvet case of "Darla Designs", Rene and I enjoyed picking out of favorite timepiece pendent!


Fashionably sporting our "Darla Design" pieces! Shiloh and Saffron, two little girls at church, LOVE playing with this!

Ross was *loving* his winged back chair by the fireplace


Rene sure knows what her brother will love :)


Lights inside the Opry


The landscaping is amazing!


Our last dinner together we celebrated Dave and Darla's wedding anniversary. In perfect Darla fashion, she pulled out a trivia game to test all of our knowledge of their marriage. I sure do love her!!! Classic honeymoon and wedding stories resurfaced as the entertainment of the night :)
What a great two weeks filled with friends and family. We felt so blessed to have the chance to go home once again for the holidays.
