2010 Opryland Christmas

Tis the season...Since Mike and I have lived in Nashville, we have made it our little tradition to visit Opryland hotel at Christmas. It is a beautiful place all year, but especially gorgeous this time of year. This years visit was even more special. The Nashville flood this past April put Opryland hotel 8-12 feet under water. It was closed from April until mid November. It has reopened with more beauty and class than ever. The girls enjoyed looking at the lights, decorations, hot air balloons and riding in the man elevators! We saw Santa while we were there which was interesting! Mommy sat next to Santa as Adeline bear hugged me and Evie pulled as far away from Santa as she could. Needless to say, there were no smiles (other than mommy's) in our picture! Adeline and Evie thoroughly enjoyed riding the train and having milk and cookies with Mrs. Claus and reading stories.
Our beautiful home is decorated, shopping is done, Eddie the Elf has arrived, Christmas countdown chain has begun, emails from Santa received, gingerbread house has been decorated...just waiting for Santa...
