Tennessee Christmas

We took off for Tennessee. We all hit the cabin around the same time. Dad & Mom's cabin was across the street from ours. Very convenient and nice! We had alot of fun. The Vines Christmas is busy, fast-paced, crazy, loud but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Lots of kids - whew! There were times Tim and I would get in the car to "drive around" for a few minutes peace! We shopped, went to movies, celebrated Carson's 2nd birthday, Dad and Mom's 70th birthdays, ate, had great time alone with Dad and Mom. Dad goes every morning early to eat breakfast. Anyone is welcome to join him ... around 8:00 a.m. I had the joy to join him and I cherish that alone time with him. As your parents get older you begin to realize the cherish the time you have. We made many fun, happy memories. We love being together. We are all spread out so it's hard to get together (all of us); so we all race to Tennessee at Christmas to enjoy each other. After Tennessee, we headed to Georgia to see Tim's family. It's a much quieter Christmas! We had dinner together, opened gifts, visited. We spent one night and headed home. We have a new little one coming on the Williams side ... Reagan (our nephew) and Mandy are expecting their first child in May. This will be Dr. Williams first great grandchild. I love my family. I have two great brothers and then my special sister, sweet Jodi. Jodi has celebral palsy. She struggles so; we try to keep her upbeat and laughing! I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
