Christmas

Okay, we're backtracking here . . .
The holiday season celebrating Christmas and New Year's is always so full, and with our trip to North Carolina in the mix, I haven't had a chance to show off some pictures of Christmas day with Charis.  Her first Christmas was spent in our home, with snow falling outside.  This was the first "white Christmas" in 17 years for the Nashville area.  To say the least, the day was peaceful . . . sweet . . . idyllic.

Let me backtrack to 2 days before Christmas . . . Dec. 23, our family went to visit the newly restored Opryland Hotel, which had been incredibly damaged in the May flood.  It was stunning!

Then Christmas arrived.  The weather outside invoked a carefree, relaxed morning.
Charis and Mimi had some quality time!

And Aunt Whitney and Uncle Shawn shared in the love, too!

And Keebler watched over Charis' every move.

Dick was hanging out as well, but somehow didn't make the photo session!  No doubt, more photos will be published soon with Charis and Poppy . . .

Celebrating baby Jesus with a baby of our own in the house . . .
definitely a Christmas we'll always remember.
