New Year's in Gattlinburg

We spent New Year's in Gattlinburg, TN this year. We met up with the Krumholtz, a family that we grew up with in Ecuador. Our family rented a cabin for three nights. It was quite interesting having Alisa, Izzy, Pauli and Nati in one house! First time ever!! It was especially difficult to feed everyone at the same time but we had a great time!

Natalie had a great time playing with the big girls on New Year's Eve. Jason and I were just waiting for her to come up from the basement crying or something but she played great with them. They took good care of her and would come and get us if she was doing something she wasn't supposed to (like swing from the treadmill and bang on the window with her feet!)

Pics from when we went to the aquarium.
Nati and Mami.Nati and Tia Lucia.

Izzy enjoying the ride.
OH NO! The Sharks! Natalie kept yelling "Go home sharks!"

Should I touch it?

Christmas Round 50!

The last stop for Christmas was Scott and Jennifer's. What a weekend!!
She loves the books and clothes! Thanks Jen, now I am going to be singing "The Farmer in the Dell" every night for several weeks!!

Christmas at Tita's

After Santa came to our house we went to Tita's for more food and more presents. David, Karina, Paulina, and Alisa were there visiting from Florida and Pat, Lucia and Izzy were also there.

Christmas at Papaw and Mamaw Patty's

We went to Papaw and Mamaw Patty's to celebrate Christmas a little early this year so we didn't have any conflicts with anything else. We had a great lunch and then of course got to open presents, Natalie's favorite part!
