I Must Have Been Good This Year...

...Because my family (I mean Santa) came bearing great gifts!

More important than gifts, I got to go home this year and it was so good to see my whole family. I will let the pictures show the madness : )

Before heading to OK, Jesse and I celebrated our own little Christmas. We never got a good picture together, thus the matching individual pictures.

Time to open presents!

The nephews hang out with uncle J...

...quite literally.

Hope all of your Christmas celebrations were merry and bright.

Brightened My Day

I have been very busy lately with little sleep and lots of crankiness. However, my husband knew just what I needed to make me smile.



Flowers are my weakness. My husband knows me well, love him.

Oh Christmas Tree, 2011

This years Christmas tree experience was different.

In year's past, we went to a tree farm, pick out a big tree and cut it down.

We are living in a smaller place than last year and we live in a big city where it's not very convenient to go cut down your own Christmas tree, but we did the best with what we had and it was still a lot of fun.

This year was a quick trip to Home depot to find the perfect tree and we did.

I apologize in advance for the blurry pictures. My camera was struggling.

A Tennessee Thanksgiving, 2011

Nashville, TN was were Jesse and I spent our time for Thanksgiving this year. Technically we stayed in Gallatin, but we did spend a few nights in Nashville with my SIL and BIL, the Martins.

Although I had been through and in the general area of Nashville several times before, I had never really toured it, so the trip started off with an insiders tour from my SIL, Molly.

In this picture: cool, old buildings/churches, Batman looking building, our pretty tour guide.

A few of the McKee women.
Jesse's Grandmama and I matched, so a picture was an absolute must.

A walk to the creek. The weather was beautiful.

It never fails. Jesse is always climbing on things.

A few of the cousins.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving from the McKee's.
