Christmas In Nashville

I'm skipping over the rest of our Christmas in Abington to get going on Christmas in Nashville. I've got to get going on these Christmas posts! We spent Christmas weekend in Nashville with all my whole family. So pfun to all be together, although we missed our fiance (okay, Lauren's fiance, but still part of the family!). 

Coloring the huge cardboard castle with Aunt Alyssa... 

 This castle was so fun. We still have a lot of work to do to finish coloring it. I guess we need to make our way back to Nashville sometime to finish up. Emma liked climbing on mommy in the castle...

 Laughing hysterically at a movie with Dodo...

 Sam was so excited to get in the hot tub. He wanted to get in at midnight when we got there, but settled for the next morning.

Christmas Eve, Eve we went Bridesmaids Dress shopping!
Christmas Eve we headed to Opryland hotel to walk around and watch the "Shrektacular Holiday Show."
Flapping like the penguins...

 Emma was not feeling well at all. She had a stomach bug that night and all Christmas Eve (her first one). :( But, since she felt bad, she slept in the Ergo most of the time we were out. There is an upside to sick kids!

 This is what we watched...

 Sam watching the "snow" come down...

I was a bit concerned about this at first, because Alyssa has told us not to do this since we could pull his shoulders/elbows out of socket. But, Alyssa reassured me that it was okay because she could put them back if needed. So, don't do this if she's not around. :)

 After dressing Emma in her Christmas PJs and finally trying to give her some food... Read her pjs carefully, "bright and merry." Ha!

 Christmas morning... Sam was ready to go!

 Fun fire station!

Samuel doesn't like to play with the firemen, but instead sets his cars up at the table... The other day, he had about 20 matchbox cars all in the bathroom at his fire station. The bathroom is his favorite room. 

 Walking toy!

 Emma's jewels... She Loves to wear necklaces!

We always play games together...

 Samuel gave Grandma a shot with his new doctors kit from Dr. Alyssa. Samuel's doesn't usually use this to help people feel better, but his cars. His cars don't go to a mechanic, they go to Dr. Sam.

 A little Yoga with Lolo...

 The family pic... Emma, again, not thrilled...

 We had some family friends over the next day. Emma liked Lisa...

Thanks mom and dad for a fun Christmas! You spoiled us rotten. We loved spending time with you all and watching you enjoy our kids!
