It's that time of year again...

Time to visit Santa...

We had a great time seeing Old St. Nick this past weekend at Bass Pro Shops.

And we got a little shopping in too. This year we didn't have tears and no being shy. Thomas walks right up, high fives Santa, climbs on this lap, and got right to business.

I couldn't resist a couple photo opportunities while we were inside.

Dollywood

I have been off this week, so Thomas and I spent the week together. One highlight from the week was riding the Trolley to Dollywood and spending the day there with our buddies Sonya & Kylee

One of the favorite rides of the day...

Trying out Dolly's Sleigh

Play Date

Thomas and I had a play date with Sonya, Kylee, and Jackson this past weekend. It was great seeing our old friends again.

The kids made mini pizza's for lunch...

Then we headed to "Kids Country" at The Track for an afternoon of entertainment.

What a fun day together!

Cades Cove & the Pancake Pantry

A couple weeks ago we started our morning at the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg for breakfast and then we headed to the mountains to see the beautiful colors and to ride around the Cades Cove Loop!

We also took advantage of the scenery & snapped some family pics

The colors were beautiful

The kids kept warm riding around the Cades Cove Loop

Thomas convinces Jill to keep him warm while we were waiting to eat breakfast.
