Christmas at Opryland!

On 12/20 - 12/21 we spent the weekend with Jason's mother, Jo, and step-father, Greg, at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. It was absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately my camera was not working well (thanks to my parents we got a new camera for Christmas) so not many of these pictures came out...








Dinner with Dr. Ladd and Her Sister

On Thursday, 12/18, Dr. Ladd invited Jason and I to Russo's to have dinner with she and her sister. We had a wonderful time and this is a picture of all of us at dinner.

The Company Christmas Party

Compass Care Alliance (where I work) had their annual Christmas party on 12/17/08 at Wendy's house in Erwin, Tennessee. Everyone was asked to bring a dish that is special to them around the holidays. The food was FANTASTIC and everyone had a great time! Here are some pictures...

Decorating at The Lambert's

Jason and I went to his mom and Greg's house on Tuesday night (12/9) for a night of decorating the tree and catching up with family! We had YUMMY food and TONS of laughs! It was a great time and Granny and Jim even joined in the fun! Here are some pictures from that night!
