Christmas Eve

We drove to Nashville to Opryland to check out the Christmas display. This was the best part of Christmas Eve!! Although it was raining--coming down in sheets ---and it was a 2 hr drive, it was the best part of my day. WHY? you ask-----I'll show you:












PEACE AND QUIET!!!!



Waking them up was not so peaceful--Dalaina is a little grouchy when awakened:(
But, once awake, they were excited to be there and see the lights!

















































And, wow, there were some lights to see!!




There was also a life size nativity scene set up---this was only part of it!

...and several large Christmas trees!





IT WAS GREAT---there was also a massive open space that was perfect for little girls to run around and squeal and squawk as they do:)




After this, we had McDonald's and drove home. The girls were anxious for Santa--so much that they couldn't get to sleep for a while! (could have also been because of the 1hr plus nap!)
