Holiday Recap Part 2

As we all know by now, it's extremely difficult for me to contain holiday blogs to only one entry, so here's part 2 of my Christmas series!

After a great Christmas morning with the Rosenbaums, we headed over to my parents house for Christmas morning #2 with my parents and Daniel. It's always great to be home - the sounds, smells, and familiar rooms that make me feel like I'm 18 again. I love my room and hope that it will always be there waiting for me whenever we're home (hint, hint - Sallie - please don't turn it into a sewing room or anything like that!). So we settled in for a nice, relaxing post-holiday recovery week that included hitting up the Christmas sales, lots of great food, football, a couple of shoots thrown in here and there, and great family time.

One thing I love about being in Nashville is that tons of my college friends are originally from Nashville (though we never knew each other until SU) or live there now, so when we're in I sometimes get to sneak in a few minutes with girls that I love! I had two great get-togethers with seldom-seen friends, so I always cherish those times!

The first was with the Callen, Shannon, and Kelly - man - I love you girls! There's never enough time!


And I also got to see Kali, Katie, Rachel, and Lauren! What a treat for us all to be together!

We also got to hang out with some old-school FBC friends, but forgot to snap a picture - it was great to see you all!

We also participated in the annual holiday tradition of an amazing meal at Mither's and the annual cousin's football game - somehow Adam has snuck by without playing yet, so it was his inaugural game. I think he past the family ordeal with flying colors, so he's here to stay now! A few action shots from the other photographer in our family - Aunt Lisa!

Strategizing with the team aka trying to convince them to let me be QB:


In action:
Team Photo - I think that I was the only injured player this year - a jammed left middle finger. As someone quickly pointed out, at least it's not on my shooting hand!


Annual cousins photo (minus George):


Later in the week, Anne and George both came up to Nashville to hang out with us for a few days which is always fun! I got a chance to snap a few photos of them and their dog, Bailey! And no, we're not twins - do we really still look that much alike?


It was such a great time in Nashville - thanks to all of our family, hosts, friends, etc. for making it a great trip!
