A few shots from December

My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on December 18! We ate out then went to my sister's home for cake. We treated my parents to a night at the Opryland Hotel and the Rockettes show. Pictures to follow.

The same weekend we went to a family get-together in Cullman, Alabama. Lots of kids of my cousins were there, even kids of my cousin's kids! It was the first time some of my uncles and cousins had seen Bobby. He joined right in, even fussing with my cousin's first grader who loves drama just like Bobby. They ended up being fast friends, of course!

Here are pictures from the Rockettes. Our family also got tickets for the same night as my parents. Lia Pendleton (Austin's girlfriend) and her family also had tickets and Spencer had tickets for her and Ben from a secret santa thing at her work.  Lia's sister, Margaret Ann is also in this picture.

This is the Cascades lobby where Mom and Dad stayed. We had to see their room. They wouldn't agree to switch with us and stay at our house for the night. Darn!

Christmas morning!! Santa brought Woody and Buzz just like Bobby asked. He went over to the chimney and yelled up, "thank you, Santa"!

We woke up to a white Christmas! Thank you, God for this gift!

Cleo's doghouse always looks good in the snow. For some reason she won't sleep in it this year. We put a pad on the front porch during the summer and I think she has forgotten about her house. Who knows what's living in it now.

The snow was also in Decatur, Alabama. This was their first white Christmas since 1963! This is my parent's home.

The guys got out and had a rip-roaring snowball fight. It ended for Bobby when he came in after a snowball to the face.

We get to Montgomery to visit the Hannah's! All four of Buddy's brothers are there. Can you guess what they all got for Christmas?

 After lunch all the brothers and their Dad plus Bobby went to the flying field where Gene has flown remote control airplanes for 30 plus years. He was recently honored and surprised when this sign was unveiled at a fly-in.

On our way back to Nashville we stopped off in Decatur. The snowman is still (kind of) standing but not much else of the snow is left. Bobby is filling up his water bottle.
