Christmas at the Cabin - Part 1



As some of you may know, my family celebrated Christmas early this year. My brother, Nevin, and his family were coming in from Idaho, so we rented a cabin in the Smokies for a few days and had Christmas there. What a wonderful time! I was so excited, not only to see my family, but because this was the first time any of them were able to see Halle in person, and hold her. You will see that just about everyone took turns getting their hands on Halle. I got pictures of all but one or two. This is Halle's first "trip", and we were a little concerned about how she would do in the car, but praise the Lord, she did great! I have loads of pictures. I've tried to pick only my favorites, but I'm still going to post a lot. This is going to be part one, with more to follow. Hope you enjoy them!!!

This is our cabin...."Family Gathering"...how appropriate! We had 31 people there!!!

This picture is of the grandkids lined up to get their presents from Grandpa Bob. Briley is definitely her mother's child!

Mariah opening her present from me. I did each of the older girls a "tea party in a bag", complete with teacup and saucer, tea bags, a special spoon, and a cookie cutter. We had two tea parties while we were there!

Halle liked Audrey!

What do you mean Briley is her mother's daughter? Of course she is!! You go tongue...I mean girl!:)
Those are great pictures. I did not take as many because Esther was snapping away and she is going to send me hers so I thought I would just wait and get hers. Now I am second-guessing myself!! Oh well, live and learn! I love you and hope you all have a happy New Year!!
