CHRISTMAS IN TENNESSEE

DSC_0496

We took our Christmas Trip down to Tennessee on Thursday, January 1st.  We had great weather to travel in on the way down which our trip very smooth.  Still 13 hours in the car, but very smooth!  Thursday night was spent eating, lounging, and then to bed.  The boys were given a birthday present from Matt and Laura, which were spark scooters and therefore had to take them outside in the dark to ride.  They are pretty cool and the boys were beyond excited about them!  After we got the boys to bed, Lee and I relaxed in the hot tub.  After a 13 hour drive, the hot tub was exactly what our muscles needed!

Friday morning we all headed to Sam and Eula’s gym.  Sam and Eula took the boys to the indoor swimming pool, which had 2 slides that the boys loved and had such a fun time!  Matt and Lee played raquetball, Pops walked around, and I spent my time on the treadmill.  It was a fun morning at the gym!

Sam, the boys, and I went out to the hot tub first thing Friday morning, even before breakfast and the gym.  Love the hot tub!  And the boys loved it too!  They were in it numerous times a day!

The Hawks played the Vols in a bowl game on Friday afternoon, which is why we are in our hawks gear.  Unfortunately it was a terrible game to watch and the Vols won.  And because the Vols won, Grandma Eula had made a deal with the boys and bought them each a ‘Smoky’ stuffed animal.  They love stuffed animals, even if it is ‘Smoky’.

We got a great picture on Friday afternoon of the whole crew that was together for these couple days.  Grandma and Pops, Sam and Eula, Lee and Myself, Mitch and Sara, Matt and Laura, and Brady and Tyler.

After 2 days in Tennessee, we had another smooth trip on the way back home.  We stopped in Iowa City to pick up our little girls, that the boys missed so much, and then got home around 7 pm on Sunday night.
