Favorite Christmas Tradition

I say it every year, but it's just so true; our annual stay at the Gaylord is my most favorite Christmas tradition! We started this tradition in 2009 and it is so neat to look back at how much our little family has changed! We love walking around looking at the decorations, eating dinner at one of the yummy restaurants, and grabbing dessert at the little coffee shop.

We got to the hotel early so that the big kids could swim in the indoor pool. While we were watching them, Ryan captured this precious moment between Rhett and I. This picture shows the pure joy that Rhett brings to my life! Ryan and I prayed and wept for the chance to have one more baby and God answered our prayer in a BIG way.

 This year, we also surprised the kids with a ride on the North Pole Express! They wore their pajamas, rode the train,  and saw Santa. It was perfect!
