Christmas 2011

Christmas this year was very busy, but a lot of fun. Will and I started off the holiday by meeting my parents in Nashville to hand over the kids (thanks again mom and dad!). He and I had planned a combined anniversary and Christmas gift to each other by spending a few nights hanging out in Nashville. We had so much fun! We ate some fantastic food, went to see the Rockett's at the Grand Ole Opry and Will surprised me with appointments for he and I to get massages. It was such a nice, and very much needed break. After Nashville we headed to Huntsville to have Christmas with my family and then on to Montevallo to be with the Lawler's. It was a great holiday!
