where did it go?

ok so i pretty much missed all of the month of december with my blogging. it has really gone by so fast! i feel like i need to decompress. we did so much it seems like. at this point i dont think i will be going backwards to far to blog, but one of my new years resolutions is to be a better blogger. we will see. hope you all had a great christmas!

our christmas tree... usually by the end of december i am pretty ready to take the tree and christmas decorations down, this year each time i look at it i cant believe it is time to take it down already.

i love our nativity

garrets last day of school was the 19th. we all picked him up from school and then spent the day together as a family. it was a great day. the weather was a little warmer and we had so much fun. we went to the aqurium and then to DollyWood. this is a pic in front of one of the amazing trees at Dollywood. the lights at chrsitmas time are so wild!

this pictures make me laugh. this was the sunday before christmas. dave had to be a church early b/c he was playing the drums in the service so i tried taking some pics of the kids all dressed up before we left. brenna was not having it at all, but the big kids were hamming it up! these are my favs.
