Merry Christmas! I know it's a little late, but here's a rundown of what I have been doing over the last week and a half. First, I went to Holly's for a few days, playing hookie from school the last day before we got out. We had a good time just hanging out. I got to meet her volleyball team and other 8th grade teachers at her school. 
The "Quad"
The "Quad"We went to UNCA the last day we were together after eating lunch at Kami's house in Arden. They have done tons on renovations. The place barely looks the same as it did five years ago when I graduated. What? That was five years ago? Man, I'm getting old!
Arent's the three of us just adorable! 
On Saturday I met my sister in Black Mountain and we drove windy roads to meet my family in Gatlinburg, TN. Here's a picture of Dad, Mom, Dallas, Brent and myself at Dollywood. Amy refuses to have her picture taken and Daniel had not come yet. (Did you know that the people who beg for you to buy their pictures will use your camera if you ask them to? As you probably guessed, we did not buy their picture. Sorry!) We enjoyed shows, the bumper cars, the train, and lights at the theme park. Brent was really disappointed that he did not get to see Dolly Parton. Did you know that he had two fish when he was younger? One was named Dolly and the other Kenny.

Dallas and Mom trying to keep warm. It was cold Sunday night! Dallas kinda looked like that kid from "Christmas Story" who can barely stand up with all those winter clothes on. There were multiple times that his three hoods were covering his eyes and he could not see. What an adorable nephew that I have. I just love him!
Brent got a new sleeping bag for Christmas. Here he is trying it on for size. Isn't he cute? He said it was so warm that he thought about sleeping in it. It is a 0 degree sleeping bag. Hopefully we'll have some use for it soon!
On Christmas Eve Brent and I found a hike in the Smokey Mountains National Park. It was one of those neat places where you could hike 6 miles up and stay in a cabin then hike back the next day. We were totally unprepared so we only walked about a mile. It was probably my favorite part of the whole trip. I got to see God's nature which calms me down. The air was cold and fresh. The scenery was gorgeous!

It was so nice to talk to you today!! I love talking to you but it really makes me miss you! Dallas is a cutie and I like your pink coat-is that your new winter coat? Have a safe trip back from Georgia and we will have to talk again soon-not just on voice mail either!! Love ya!
What great pics! How was Dollywood? We are thinking of going there someday...
Ahhh, it sounds & looks like a blissful Christmas. I hope you continue to have safe travels as you visit more family!
Courtney- yes, that is my new winter coat. It's really warm!
Bubba's sis- Dollywood was ok. Kinda a let-down from what I remember as a kid though. I recommend it if you like the shows. If not, choose somewhere else.
D...- We are in Atlanta right now. I'll post soon with pics and the adventure.
