November 19-23, 2008 Dave had to attend a conference in Nashville, so we girls flew to Huntsville to see the relatives. On Thursday, we drove up to Tennessee and visited with Deana and Papa. That's Madison on the tractor. The girl's most favorite thing was the cats. There were 5 that Deana had been feeding that were just tame enough for the girls to pet (if they could catch one). Then we climbed onto one of Papa's buses (he manages the school buses for Huntland schools) for a photo. I wish we could have spent more time there. I have lots of wonderful memories of Papa's house.
Here's a picture of Dad with the girls at Papa's house.
Huntsville has this great new outdoor shopping center called Bridge Street. It is absolutely gorgeous complete with a lake, gondolas, high-end shops, and a swanky, new movie theater. Dave had finished his conference and driven down to be with us in Huntsville, so we all (including Dad and Teddy) went out to eat and to see the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. These are pictures of the girls at Ketchup (a restaurant) and on the carousel. It was a cooooold night, so we were all bundled up. This was a very fun night out.
Grandma Teddy made a fresh batch of cookie dough and made Christmas cookies with the girls. They thought that was SO fun! They even got to use all the multi-colored and shaped sprinkles. Thanks Grandma Teddy - you're the best!

I think that is so neat that you get to travel to see family, and that even busy Dave can meet up with you and still share in all the fun memories that you are making.
I think that is so funny that the girls would have to chase down a cat just to pet it. And who doesn't love shopping, Christmas lights, and cookies of course.
Hey, tell me how you do the four-in-one-box photos!
Looks like you are having a great life! See you soon.
