Holiday Crossbowing

Aran got a new "toy!" Can we play? Pleeease?

I'm told this is a good shot pattern.

Commence chest-beating and bragging rights. ;)

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning, Dave and I woke each other up at 5:00 am so we could see what Santa...

Yeah right. We slept 'til 9:30 and opened up stuff in a hurry 'cuz we were late for Christmas at Mom and Dad's

Stocking stuffers!

White gold hoops to replace the ones I lost last month!Soaking wet hair. An upgrade from last year's pajama pictures. Maybe next Christmas I'll actually look like a human being....Nah!

Don't throw Dave in the doghouse just yet. I did ask for dishcloths. :)

Family Guy talking pen collection.

Fun with Jess

Since Jess was home for the Holidays, we met in Birmingham for a girl's day out of shopping and Mexican food.

Can't forget Twilight-themed Christmas presents!

Dirty Grinchmas

A reference to the infamous popcorn incident!

It's ok, Belinda. No one died. It's just a sacred heart of Jesus framed print with LED lights.

Winding Down

Before heading home from ICE! we stopped for some eats at a fish camp style restaurant.

Looks like some other smart @sses beat us to the punch.

What'd ya know! There's a Cooter's in Nashville too. This one is actually a bit nicer than the one in Gatlinburg so Dave was happy.

ICE!

ICE! was a real treat. Thanks, Mom. I'd been wanting to see this for a couple years.

The exhibit is kept at 9 degrees, but the parkas kept us comfortable except for our fingers!
Over 2 million pounds of ice was used to sculpt Whoville and all the other Grinchy goodies seen.
I wonder how they color the ice?? Glorified food coloring?

The Grinch's heart grew five sizes that day!

Ice slides! The closest we'll get down South to any kind of winter activity.

The rare who roast beast.

Katy and her beloved Max. Poooor Max.

Paparazzi! Noooo!

Dad being a "butt." te-he

First off we have Gilbert demonstrating the correct way to go down the slide, then Bella with her own take on ice sliding. Again, if you are viewing this on Facebook you'll have to visit the blog directly to see video.
