Christmas Morning 2019

Christmas morning was just as special this year as it has been in year's pasts.  With an 8 year old and two 5 year olds, we're starting to venture into some "big kid" toys.  They also took their time with each and really played with all their new stuff.  It was a wonderful morning spent at home and we loved every minute of it.  On the lists for Santa: Harper - a hover board; Gatlin - video game; Houston-pokemon cards.  I would say, Santa delivered!

Christmas Eve 2019

One of my favorite traditions is celebrating Christmas is the Christmas Eve service at Brentwood Baptist Church.  We were able to spend time with Bossy and Paw Paw and then had dinner at Mazatlan after (for the 4th year in a row). We love the candles and really taking time to celebrate Jesus and his birth.

Christmas with the Gatlin Fam

This year, we had several Gatlins in town and we were able to really celebrate.

Josh's side of the family was in West Tennessee - we weren't really able to coordinate schedules.

Ashley, Dagan, & Gage were in town for a few days, so we hit up the Funky Griddle, played dirty Santa, saw a show at Opryland, and got to have brunch at the club.  It was so nice seeing our boys cousins and having time with them.

NashVegas JeDunn Christmas Party

This year's Christmas Party theme was NashVegas. 
While Josh went as the Bride from a Bachelorette Party, the ladies were the BNA Carpet.  If you don't know, the BNA carpet is a staple of the airport.  It has it's own Instagram. More and more people every year...but it's always a good time. 

Christmas Season

We love Christmas time in our house.  It's so magical and filled with happiness, love, and family.  I know Josh says it every year, but with our kids, it really gets more and more amazing. Here are a few photos from this Christmas season.

I was so happy I got to sub for polar express day

The kids with Santa & fun at church. At church, we went to Journey to Bethlehem and dad even worked his own booth. 

Harper & I attend Aladdins Winter Wish with the dance crew. The play was so cute and all the girls loved seeing each other and the show.  Josh took the boys so they wouldn't miss out either. 

A few random pictures in December - Christmas Bunco, seeing pawpaw on the bus, Harper's basketball game, face comparison of Gatlin & Houston (in that order) and date night!

We had an adult night out at the Murphy's.  A great time was had by all.

Chinese Festival of Lights

Something new at the Zoo is the Chinese Festival of Lights. It was such a cool experience.  Bossy and Pawpaw joined...and we got to see Santa!
