Santa's Elf's at work!

Sorry. I'm still posting Christmas pictures.

My Dad (Papaw) spent the night with us Christmas Eve, it was so special, we were so glad to have him there. He only lives about 15 minutes from us but we wanted him to stay the night, so he did. My kids are tight with their Papaw, they love him so much. He spends a lot of time at our house and we are so glad, we love having him. We were up until midnight putting together toys and Papaw took on the task of putting together the train table that Gigi sent. Gigi is Shaun's Mother, she lives in North Carolina and sent the kids tons of gifts for Christmas. THANKS GIGI, we love you!! The train set stayed together a whole 30 minutes! All that work! O well, that's what its all about,right?

Bryan Adams at the Ryman


WOW!! Shaun and I shared a much needed night alone Sunday night. My Mom was kind enough to spend the night with us and sit with our children while we traveled to Nashville TN (only 1 1/2 hours from our home) Sunday night. I LOVE Nashville, and we go there often, but this time was to see Bryan Adams in concert at the historic Ryman in downtown Nashville


The show was AMAZING!! It was an all acoustic performance with an occasion piano. Major 80's flashbacks. He was very interactive with the audience. He had a great sense of humor and played tons of those awesome love songs we all know and love. The neat thing was, he spotted Martina McBride in the audience and asked to come on stage and sing a song that he originally done with Tina Turner. She was as shocked as we were. It was so fun!! You can click here for a run down of the show!!


We left at 12pm on Sunday, done some major shopping at the Opry Mills Mall, ate, saw a concert and still made it home by midnight!(we are not ready to stay the night away from our kids yet, and probably will never be :)

Christmas Day at the Gray's

This is Shaun's bunch, we go to Huntsville on Christmas day and its always a blast. These people have the best sense of humor, I am always in stitches laughing, I love them to death. We did miss Shaun's Mother, sister, niece and brother terribly, they live in North Carolina and didn't make it here for Christmas, but I know we will see them soon. Thanks for all the great gifts GiGi!!

Christmas Eve at the Dalton's

Our Christmas plans got changed last minute due to my youngest sister's Father had a heart attack and was in the hospital in Huntsville awaiting surgery for quadruple bypass, and my Mom was with her for moral support. We usually have Christmas Eve at my Moms in our pajamas, but made the best of it at my house, we got a little silly with the camera and tripod as you will see, it was tons of fun, but we did miss my sister Teresa and her four children and my Mother.

Bubby and Frankie

Hey buddy


Give me some kitty sugar


Have I mentioned how much Bubby loves Frankie? He no longer lives in the house, but I do let him in to eat, and Bubby LOVES to see him, he talks so sweet to him and Frankie just lays there as to understand every gibberish word he says. They have a sweet little bond.
