A Cabin Christmas...

Alex & I boarded a plane early on the 28th and headed to Atlanta to meet Andy. We stopped for a Chick-Fil-A lunch, then met Haley at the Oak Ridge, TN exit and kept going northwest to my sister's cabin! I had Alex, Haley, my parents, my sister & her family, Andy, and Daisy ~ it was finally MY time to celebrate Christmas:

Connor LOVES Andy, they're usually found hanging out together:

Alex didn't venture far from his sister and MawMaw:

Daddy got a new heated travel mug to keep his tea hot:

Andy loves his new TN rolling cooler:


Can you tell Alex was excited to get a KungZhu racetrack from Aunt Jen, Uncle Stevie, Logan & Connor?

We got him a video camera because he LOVES taking videos with my camera:

(oh and Andy got him a 'coon skin cap, a red Union suit and a slingshot - "every boy needs those" Andy declared, well along with a pocket knife, but Alex did NOT get one of those - Logan & Connor did though!)

MawMaw and PawPaw got him a Spy camera watch - he had fun recording all of us with it:

Time for KungZhu battles with Connor:

And that was just our first night of cabin adventures!!

Alex's Tennessee Christmas...

Alex got to spend Christmas with the Buhl side of the family in Knoxville!
He got a special treat ~ going to dinner at Regas (a wonderful restaurant in K'ville that is a historic landmark that sadly closed on New Year's Eve - I was lucky enough to work for the Regas Family, such a wonderful memory!). Here he is with his big sister Haley, ready to join their dad, Mimi and Daddy Bill at Regas:


He had a great night:

Haley said he was "so polite, such a little man" at dinner! Made me proud! :)

His big sister is THE BEST!! She got him a BeyBlade battlefield and the two BeyBlades that he wrote Santa for:


They had their annual Christmas Eve celebration at Mimi & Daddy Bill's.
He loved being with his sister and Buhl cousins:

I'm so glad that he had a great visit in Knoxville, but I LOVED having him come home!!
