Dear Sis,

Our Hanukkah and Christmas got all mixed up this year. 

We decided to do our family gift exchange before our trip, so they wouldn’t be mixed up in the mess of travel. William opened his gifts first. Then, he opened Charlotte’s, mine, and daddy’s. 

We did our Hanukkah routine before bed and drove to Nashville the following day, Christmas Eve. We arrived just in time for the family gathering at Aunt Jeramie (Josh’s Mom’s little Sister) and Uncle David’s house.

William is being held by Uncle David and is pointing to Aunt Stephanie (Josh’s Mom’s little brother Jim’s wife). P-pop, Daddy, and Flo (Great Granny’s Boyfriend) are chatting in the background. 

On Christmas morning, Granny Bob and P-pop met us at the hotel. We did our Hanukkah routine from the previous night in the morning since we got in so late. 

It was so nice out in Nashville, we decided to go to the park!

William remembered getting his picture taken on his last visit, so we did it again:)

Daddy and William went back to the hotel to nap. Mama and baby sister went with Granny Bob and P-pop to Shoney’s lunch buffet and then to Aunt Jeramie’s for gathering night two. Great Granny wasn’t able to make it, so we visited her in the morning.

Great Granny guided William’s fingers to his favorite song…

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star:)

Great Granny took this picture as we were leaving:)

We stopped off at Opry Mills for a boat tour with Cousin Blue (Aunt Jeramie’s eldest son). Daddy took a picture of us by the giant tree!

We got home very late! …and it will probably take until next year to clean up.

Love,

b
