Audrey's 8th Birthday

I am still in disbelief that we just celebrated Audrey's 8th Birthday!  She was so tiny when when she was born....time goes by entirely too fast.  Here are some pictures of how we celebrated.

We went to Pigeon Forge and stayed at a nice place called Riverstone Resort. 

Clothes from Mommy & Daddy 

New place called The Island 

We didn't ride The Wheel because we thought $50 was a little much to spend for the 4 of us.   

So we spent a lot of time in a cool arcade. 

Gotta hit the go kart tracks when you're in Pigeon Forge. 

Before heading home on Sunday, we stopped at the Knoxville Zoo.

This was our first Christmas without Papaw.  It was so quiet and we all knew it was never going to be the same without him.  But we enjoyed being together and the kids had fun.

We enjoyed Christmas with Nana & Clive, the week before they left for the beach. 

This was the Christmas musical at CTS.  Audrey had a speaking part and really took pride in remembering her lines.  We were so proud of her. 

Jack was a king in the musical.  No speaking part, but he was a great king. 

Audrey and her teacher Ms. Sherri.  She is the best!
