New Year's, Nashville, and a Big Mouse

We had an "at home" New Year's celebration this year with Carrie, Derric, and Callie. The kids rang in the new year around 7. The girls put on their best dress up dresses and Colby lost his pants...so you know it was a wild party!

Is this a party boy or what? 

Justin and Colby brought me a birthday "happy" today while they were running errands. I love those guys!
For part of my Christmas this year, Justin treated me to a weekend trip to Nashville. It was a much welcomed getaway! We went to the Opryland hotel, ate at the Rainforest Cafe', visited Vanderbilt University, Music Row, Belmont University, and explored the city. We also did lots and lots of shopping (thanks Justin for being such a good sport)!

These are cupcakes (in ice cream bowls) and are the best I've ever tasted. If you ever get the chance, Gigi's Cupcakes are amazing!

Me and the General Lee. I so wanted to climb through the window.

While we were in Nashville, the kids and London stayed with Mimi and Pops. They had a great time but my parents probably need a vacation now!

London just back from his first trip to the groomer.

Colby, Beau, and a bunch of ducks....this picture totally grosses me out. I posted it just for you Beau!

Lots of art projects were done over the weekend.

The weather was nice so Mimi and Nanny took the kids to the park. Mimi said Colby and Kinsley both loved the slide.

Last week we met some friends at Chuck E. Cheese for a treat. Kinsley had fun playing with her friend Trae and Colby loved running around like a wild man!
