Christmas in Gatlinburg

For the last two years, we have gone to Gatlinburg with Gary's family for Christmas. Unfortunatley, it's May, and I'm just now getting around to posting about it, so I don't have alot of commentation on it! So, I guess I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

One day we went into Pigeon Forge, and one of our stops was at a western store. This may very well be my all-time favorite picture!

Okay...so we aren't all born to wear hats!

We also went roller skating that day...or well most of us did. It was Mitch's first time, and he LOVED it! It was really sweet to watch Jack and Alex helping him, too.

Jake, well...he didn't love it so much! He stood on his skates for about 5 minutes, and cried all of those 5 minutes. After that, he just hung out with Papa Jack.

And...back at the cabin...

Gary playing with Molly and baby doll nursery we got her for Christmas. We may get a little crazed when we actually get to buy girly things! :) Is there a better thing to give a teenager than a game named "Smart Ass"? Jack thought it was hilarious...and it happened to be a fun game too!

Yep, Gary brainwashed Molly, too! Her daddy is a big Georgia fan, and isn't too crazy about this!
Storytime with Aunt Tara and two of Mitch's favorite cousins

Out of the entire family of 16, these are the only girls! Gotta love a family that makes me look tall! :) The refrigerator loaded for 3 days with 16 people Mitch, Wyatt, Molly and Jake in their personal swimming pool...otherwise known as a jacuzzi tub, with water color tablets for a little extra fun! I'm pretty sure there was more water around the tub than in it when they got through! Jake, Mitch and Wyatt getting ready to "go swimming". This was Jake's first time in underwear (instead of a diaper), and he didn't like it. He ended up going naked! In a house with this many people, I guess you have to sit wherever you can find a seat! Playing "Smart Ass"
Mitch and Wyatt playing Leapsters. This is pretty much what they did for 3 days.

Whew....through Christmas posts! I may even get one or two more done tonight...we'll see!
