Our Sat.





































WOW! How much can you fit in one day? Sat. morning we got up early to head to church to help with stuffing the treat bags for Sunday. We had several hundred treat bags. We finished up a little after 10 so then we headed to get a Christmas present for a guy who Jonathan works with, who he had his name, and back at church by 11:00am for Jonathan to practice there Christmas program one last time. Practice over and we are all packed in the car ready to head up to Ashville, NC to the Grove Park Inn where Best Buy district staff was having there Christmas party. Before hitting the road we get a quick bite to eat and realize we didn't pack Jonathan a tie. Oh no, but guess what we had a gift card to so stopped by Hamricks and pick up a shirt and tie. (thanks mom) Finally on the road...We get about 30 min. down the road Gracie is asleep, so I thought I would rest my eyes a little....then to quickly awakening me Jonathan was running off the road , why you might ask, he is falling asleep. So can you believe that he pulled over and I got to drive. That my seem very simple to many , but it was kind of exciting for me. We had dinner and opened presents. Fireworks and then that evening toured the inn. They had displays of gingerbread houses that were up for competitions, some were being sent to New York. Sunday Morning we had breakfast delivered to the room. No such thing as continental breakfast. Then left by 7:30am to be at church by 10:00am. Wow! This was a very nice experience.

Yes, staying at the Grove Park Inn was wonderful, and b/c it was free for us. the hours for a district job are awful, so I would stick with photography...lol

Sounds like it was a whirlwind weekend. I am glad you had the time together, even if it was a bit hectic.
I would have loved to have seen the Gingerbread Houses. That would have been exciting, much less the Inn. I have heard so much about it.
Love you so much.
Gracie did look like she enjoyed the sleigh.
Love you guys.
