Christmas at Dollywood!

So we waited until one of the coldest days all winter to take Blake to Dollywood for a show and to see the lights! We went Sunday night to watch "Babes In Toyland" and let B ride the rides and look at the "ho ho ho yites" or Christmas lights! It was FREEZING but Blake didn't notice! We had the best time ever! Blake LOVED the show and sat thru the entire thing without making a peep! He also loved riding the rides in the 30 degree cold and wouldn't leave his gloves on for anything! Kids are crazy

Our Annual Trip to Mimi and G-Diddy's Christmas Party!

This past weekend we made our annual trek down to Augusta, SC for Jamie's dad and step-mother's Christmas party! (It took a little longer to get there this time because of the I-40 closure!) We ALWAYS have an awesome time at Mimi and G-Diddy's. They sure know how to throw a good party! I wasn't so sure this year would be as fun as last year because last year Blake was just a baby but now he's a very energetic TODDLER!!! But.. he suprised us once again, he was excellent at the party and even went to bed during the party so we could have a few hours to live it up with out having to keep an eye on him! As ALWAYS Mimi went above and beyond to make our stay perfect! She decorated a "Blake" Christmas tree for our room and stocked our room with organic snacks and juice for B!!! Blake can recognize his name and when he saw his name on that tree he got a huge smile! Blake also knows his G-Diddy is a sucker for giving him sweets so he got some good cake out of him too! I guess that's what Grandparents are for! Thanks again for the great time Mimi and G-Diddy!
