Nashville Trip

















Well since our boys enjoy "Soupy" ("snoopy") and the Peanuts Gang so much, we took the opportunity to go see the whole gang carved out of ice in Nashville Tennessee.


We enjoyed our trip down, including a stop for lunch at Frisch's, the boys new favorite place to eat, just like their dad. When we arrived at the Ice exhibit and the employees stopped us to give us our parka's, we looked at them, like, "do we really need these, we're all bundled in winter clothing"? They quickly replied that we would want the extra gear bexause it was only 6 degrees inside! After about a half hour that starts to feel stinging cold!



The boys loved the characters and really enjoyed the ice slides, mom and dad enjoyed those too!!











Christmas At Church



Well, "it takes all kinds". We have spent time celebrating both tradtions of Christmas with our family at Church in the past few weeks.
Pictured above is our oldest in his stage perfoming debut as none other than "Jesus". That's right, his first ever performance and he was asked to play "young Jesus", he would tell you he played "4-year old Jesus", something he could seemingly relate to very well. In the foreground is "baby Jesus", played by our youngest becuase "he's a baby" his brother said!
Mommy played Mary, of course, and pictures of her in her lovely costume have amazingly dissapeared, haha!
The boys were part of the "Stations of the Crib" and enjoyed their time up on the altar/stage.
We also took the family to breakfast with Santa, where we ate, made crafts, visited with the big guy himself and spent time chatting with friends and fellow parishioners. We enjoyed both activities.
