Wednesday December 20th, we arrived in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee at the Smokey Mountains in Bear Cove Village Campground.
The first evening we checked out the area and decided what we were going to do. We ate at Old Mill and it was delicious. The restaurant was in an old barn. We also checked out this huge Christmas store. The kids loved all the Nutcrackers.
Aunt Joan meet us for dinner and showed us around the town. It was good to see her and listen to all her stories.
On Monday December 18, we drove to Columbia to meet my Aunt LeeAnn and Papa Burton. We had lunch at Shakespeare's Pizza. One of my favorite pizza places when I was in college. It was so good to see Aunt LeeAnn and Papa. Papa looked great and was so funny. I enjoyed visiting with both of them. Thank you for meeting us.
After lunch we headed to the Lake of the Ozarks to see my grandparents. My grandmother was having surgery and in the hospital. I am very thankful I got to see them. Please continue to pray for my grandparents. They are in need of healing.
We hope all of our friends and family have a very Merry Christmas!
On Sunday December 17, Mom took the kids shopping and out to lunch. They love spending time with Grandma. Tim and I got some last minute shopping done also. Then we all opened presents together at Mom and Dad's house. The kids loved everything! Thank you Mom and Dad for the presents.
We continue the fun day at Sky Zone. The kids jumped and played over an hour. Ava did the rock climbing wall. I was so proud of her!
We enjoyed dinner at Pantera's Pizza and ended the night at the Garden Glow at Botanical Gardens. The Garden Glow was so beautiful and it was fun to do together.
Thank you Mom and Dad for a wonderful day and evening. We love you!
