New Year's Eve 2014

The plan for New Years was to go to Perfect North and ski and tube but the weather had been warmer than usual so the ski lodge had been unable to make enough snow to open many of the slopes.  We called and found out that only a few of the tubing lanes and slopes would be open which would result in long lines which didn't sound like much at all especially with little ones...  So we ended up going to Louisville to spend New Year's with my Mamaw Pogue since we hadn't gotten to see her at Christmas.  She was ecstatic to have company for the night.  We stayed up until after midnight playing cards and just enjoying the company of aunts, uncles, and cousins who joined the party too.

The next day we headed home and made a stop at the new outlets in Shelbyville.  It was a really great time.

Christmas with the Smith Family....

After the craziness of Christmas at our house, we headed over to mom and dad's for more craziness! We had our traditional Christmas breakfast which is always wonderful along with lots more presents to open. Craig also did a window frame for my mom and she really loved it!

Christmas at Home....

We got home on Christmas Eve and got the kids in bed as quickly as possible so that Santa could visit.  Addi had colored some pictures for Santa and also left cookies and milk for him.  Hope he comes tonight.  Sweet dreams....

Looks like Santa came!!  The kids got tons of stuff from Santa and from Mom and Dad including a package that had magic bands in them for a trip to Disney in January!  Addi got a Cinderella dress for the trip so that she could wear it at the Bibbiti Bobbiti Boo Salon and the character dinners!

Addi gets so excited over shoes and this year, she had asked for brown cowgirl boots.  She got those as well as black ones, new Crocs, sparkly Dorothy shoes, pink rain boots, and Elsa shoes.  That girl is a shoe-a-holic! She also got an Elsa costume, a castle to color, some clothes, and a pink guitar! Austin got mostly clothes--Patagonia jacket, jeans, shirts, and also a steamer for his dorm room as well as a new down comforter for his bed at home.

We are very blessed.  It was a wonderful Christmas morning at home.  It was time to get dressed and head over to mom's for Christmas breakfast and more present opening!
