New Year's Eve

I've always hated New Year's Eve. So much pomp and circumstance for a day on the calendar. I'm not big into resolutions and I really hate driving when I'm afraid everyone else is drunk. When I was in high school and college I always tried to find a babysitting job for New Year's Eve so I had a good excuse not to go out. Now my excuse is a very sweet little toddler who I would rather spend the evening with anyday! This year we had a crab and shrimp boil...delicious!

Jack Daniels

While my parents were here we went to Lynchburg and took a tour of the Jack Daniels Distillery after a great lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's. Adam and I have never been on this tour and it was great! Our tour guide was hilarious and we had a great time! My dad is a Squire of the distillery (I think that means he owns one square inch of the property) and I found him a great birthday present!

We ordered one of these for my Dad for his birthday...he sent me a picture of his, but I can't find it at the moment.

Pigtails

Oh how I love a toddler with pigtails!

Christmas Dinner

This year I was actually off for Christmas. However, I still had to work the 23rd, the 26th, and the 28th which made traveling impossible. Thankfully both my parents and Adam's parents decided to come to us! It was so much fun having everyone at our house. Adam fried a turkey! It was so cold he had the chiminea fire going to stay warm. Everytime someone opened the door from the garage to the house it sucked the smoke into the garage and set off all the smoke detectors in the house. Good times. No worries though, dinner was great and since I've decided to live my life ONLY for the good stories, it was worth it!
