Our Christmas present this year from Bryan's dad was a ski trip to Gatlingburg, TN together with Bryan's brother, Tommy & his family. It was a total surprise to the kids until the night before we left. It was so hard to keep it a secret! We had a fabulous time- we couldn't have done it better. None of us have ever skied before...and it showed:) We headed off to ski school and we were confident...our ski instructor however...asked us not to get poles just yet. He said we had enough to worry about without adding poles to the mix:) We can't wait to get back up on those slopes again. We went to a show at the Dixie Stampede where they had a live nativity and winter show...and no silverware to eat your lunch with- cornish game hen, pork loin, potato half, vegetable soup, corn-on-the-cob, biscuit & apple turnover....yum, yum, yum! I hope ya'll had a blessed Christmas- the best gift we got? Spending time and making amazing memories with those we love. Best wishes for a wonderful New Year to you all!
