Tennessee Christmas pt one

Get ready for a long post...

Hope I didn't lose ya...it's mostly photos, I promise!

I've been trying to get around to posting these for a few weeks now, but things have been awfully crazy around these parts.

My family spent Christmas 2009 on vacation in the beautiful Smokey Mountains of Tennessee!

Nope, we don't have any family there. We're just that fun.

Since we call Texas home, we're not really used to snow. So the excitement of building snowmen, making snow angels and hiking in the mountains wooo'd us away from our normal Christmas traditions this year.

The cast of this vacay included: dad, mom, sister, bro-in-law, brother, cousin, brother's fun friend...oh, and me.

It was fabulous. A relaxing week of games, shopping, and enjoying family will get me every time. So, enjoy (way too many) some photos from the week here...

So this is what it's like to spend the holidays, vacation, or a weekend with a photographer on board. You are fabulous. I LOVE your work---no words come to my mind to describe it with such beauty---kind of wordless. You have such a gift. I LOVED Sarah's engagement pictures you took...OH MY...I'm booking you now when Brookie ever needs you in her day. We have to finish Britt's someday...no hurry over here at all. He has what he needs for the current moments. Love YOU! Bev
