My nurse Melissa and I. We decided at the last minute to send some Christmas cards to a few of our very sick patients. 

 Grace's school Christmas program.  She was the only shepherd with a pink bow sticking out!

 The kids favorite part of the Christmas program was eating Jesus's birthday cake

 The best family shot we could get on that day.  So glad Marcus and I were both able to make it

 The Opryland Ice show

 Ice carvers from China come in to make all the sculptures.  It is amazing.

 Jacob totally reminds me of the little boy from A Christmas Story all stuffed in his coat!

 Jacob got stuck on this giant ice slide (his parka slid up and his jeans created too much friction for him to slide).  They wouldn't let Marcus slide down to get him, so in the end, they pulled him down with a giant hook.  He laughed the whole time. It was HYSTERICAL!!

 Grace and I at the Rockettes.  She loved the "dancers".

 We spent that weekend at the Opryland Hotel which is always so beautifully decorated for Christmas.  The kids had fun even if they didn't show it in this picture

 Making gingerbread men and Christmas trees
