Traditions Live On

but for how long? We have visited the Opryland Hotel at Christmastime every year since we've been married and before but with each year and each added child, it definitely gets more difficult. I'm just enjoying it while it lasts! Plus it was our first time back to the hotel since the flood, and you would never know it had happened! This is mostly a good thing except that we all had our fingers crossed that their hanging decorations were in a storage unit submerged by water forcing them to purchase new ones. You'll see what I mean...

Family shot + Silas = family shot :)
The big tree
aaaand this is what I'm talking about. What does a ginormous joker have to do with Christmas besides the fact that he is clothed in red and green??? Someone please explain

The kiddos. All 5, about to be 6!!


The running hall. this has easily become the kid's favorite part, and I'm amazed no one asks us to leave. We usually camp out and let the kids (and the boys) run and spin and practice gymnastics. This year Shiloh used it to show off her very new walking skills. The boys did some crude measurements and decided that the hall is bigger in square footage than all 3 of our houses combined.

Group shot!

You seriously are the cutest pregnant woman! I cannot wait to see pictures of your 2 cute girls together. Good luck these last few weeks and with the delivery! Hey, if you're like me, maybe you'll have her in time for Christmas!
