Nashville and the Music City Bowl

Taylor, Miller, and I went to Nashville to visit Callie and Sidney and also go to the Music City Bowl. It was my first trip to Nashville! There is so much to do there we definitely need to go back again! Callie and I took Miller to ICE Merry Madgascar at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and also there was also a Holiday Shrektacular show there. Miller loved it all! The ice slide at ICE was a big hit!
We ran into Todd and Gail before the game - loved seeing them!


Taylor and me before the game


Miller before going into ICE - going to be cold in there!!!

Christmas in Eupora at Mimi and Clay Clay's house

The day after Christmas we went to Eupora to Mimi and Clay Clay's. Miller always loves getting to play with all his cousins. They have so much fun together! Glad they have each other!

All the cousins - except sweet Anna Hays

Now Miller can practice writing his letters - Thanks Aunt Lanna!!


Miller got a new laptop from Mimi and Clay Clay


Miller got a new "Big Boy" cowbell from Aunt Lanna, Uncle Greg, Maggie and Whitten!!


Maggie was excited about her cute new luggage!


Holly gave Miller and Whitten a pack of sticker mustaches...They were hilarious!!!

Christmas night bath with his new shaving kit - he LOVED it

"Santa did come!" said Miller.

Miller was good this year! He said Santa did come!! :) This year he really loved everything he got. He went from one thing to another with so much excitement! It was sweet to watch. I know next year will be different with another little one in the house. I look forward to all the years to come of Christmas morning joy!


Taylor teaching Miller about Star Wars


Santa brought Miller several different pretend play dress up themes: fireman, knight, MSU and Ole Miss football players...He changed every two minutes Christmas morning. It was too funny!

Uncle Sid and Miller - hut...hut


After time playing with Santa's presents we had Christmas with Annie, CC and Sid.

Taylor got a guitar for Christmas - let's see if he learns to play it. He has been asking for one for years.


Miller was SO into opening presents this year..maybe a little too into it..Giving is better than receiving is a lesson we need to work on I think.

I LOVE GETTNG READY FOR CHRISTMAS!!! :)

Christmas was really special this year with Miller - he was really excited and into the magic of it all!


Chip, our elf, was a BIG part of our Christmas this year! Miller had so much fun looking for him - he was the very first thing he asked about each morning!




This is the only pictue I ended up taking of our house and it was rainy when I took it and it ended up blurry. :(



I found Sadie's reindeer antlers from a few years ago and Miller wanted to wear his with her in a picture! Too funny! Sadie was not too happy her attire....



Taylor brought down a box of his old toys and Miller thought it was the best thing EVER!! We could have just given him this for Christmas.. ha
