Christmas in Nashville

Our first Christmas in Nashville was an awesome one. Well. We weren't technically IN Nashville over the holidays, rather, living in Nashville, is awesome. We drove up to Indiana to spend time with the Moseman's who all managed to drive well before the 25th. Thanks to Aunt Annie, the little girls had their annual matching Christmas jammies, and judging from those grins, I think they approve! We also take advantage of YiaYia's big tub to bathe all the girls at once and they enjoy splashing around with each other. Afterwards, we'd put on some holiday movie and the girls would sit and watch in front of the fire. I dare say there were bouts of peace in the house... amid the chaos.

The annual Moseman Beer Mile (2016) took place on the 28th in the afternoon and it was nippy but not too bad. This year's champion, Alex, was well ahead the rest of the pack and this year's MVP was YiaYia, who braved the weather and her drinking abilities and participated for the first time this year. 

Even the pups are feeling the holiday spirit: BR and Izzy

Then after a few days in Bloomington, we drove straight to Huntsville, Alabama to spend a few days (including NYE) with the Pfalzer's. To say that Hazel loves her cousins is an understatement. Hazel LOVES her cousins and she constantly asks about when she gets to see Avery and Miles.

 We have developed quite a habit of driving down to Huntsville, leaving our child and disappearing for minutes, hours and days. This past weekend Sean went to Biloxi, MS with his Grinnell buddies and I got to hang out in Nashville with my friend Stephanie from Boston. We dropped Hazel off at Grandma and Grandpa's and had 4 amazing days with our friends. We are super super super duper grateful for having family so close by and awesome grandparents willing to watch Hazel.
