So much holiday fun

After two and a half weeks of traveling during the holidays, we are finally back in Nashville. We started our holiday excursion a few days before Christmas, driving from Nashville to Knoxville to see what Santa brought Adeline. We saw grammy and granddaddy, aunt Christy and uncle Chris and cousin Catie. Adeline and Catie had a blast playing together as usual. Santa brought Adeline a train, train table, puzzles, bean bag chair, book rack, Elmo and some more Little People. Her grammy and granddaddy got her another pretty baby doll, baby stroller and the refrigerator for her kitchen. She got even more toys from Chris and Christy!
Then it was off the Richmond where we saw meme, grandpa, aunt Lanie, uncle Adam, cousin Jenna, great aunt Cheryl, great uncle David, great grandma, nanny and granny. There were so many people to see in Richmond and not enough time. Adeline got more baby dolls and baby doll accessories....we are hoping she will practice on her own baby before her little sister arrives! She also got more Elmos and a Barney...who she kisses ALL the time!...a Radio Flyer wagon, and toys toys toys! While we were in Richmond we also were able to see our extended family, which was nice.
After Richmond, we were off to Asheville, NC to the Biltmore and to stay at the Grove Park Inn. Adeline LOVED spending more time with little cousin Jenna. I'm pretty sure she kissed her and called her name "Nenna" every few minutes! The Grove Park Inn was beautiful and a wonderful little get-a-way!
We are now counting down the days until our house is complete. We are looking at a close date of February 4th and we are keeping our fingers crossed that it is not delayed too much after that date. So far we are on schedule! Mike, herb and Chris finished tiling our bathrooms and laundry room last weekend. We have been VERY pleased with the quality of work and are SO ready to get out of our tiny apartment. we should be settled in our house before Adeline's little sister arrives in May. We are very excited to have so many wonderful things happening in our lives right now. We have decided that baby girl #2 will be named Evelyn Sarah Thomas...Evelyn after her great grandmother, who has been so special in Adeline's life so far. We will call her Evie. More to come I'm sure on Evie, but the pregnancy has been going well and she is definitely a STRONG kicker!
We look forward to many visits at our new house soon!
