Tons of Pictures

Here are all the fun pictures from our Christmas and New Year's vacation.
We were lucky to visit Grandma and Grandpa Blackford for Christmas and see their new home in Nashville!





Alida's best buddies in Nashville, Nika and Klondike:




The ICE! show at the Grand Ole Opry, Christmas Eve. We were given parkas to keep us warm, as the tent that housed this exhibit was less than 15 degrees! F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G... but so fun.








Alida got stuck half way down the ice slide and was too cold to move, it was sad but kinda funny too..



Our little Rudloph, her nose was so red and cold!




Merry Christmas morning-


we woke up to lots of snow!














And here are pictures from our fun New Year's trip to Arkansas, with Grandma and Grandpa Stout!







Happy New Year!



Katie and Derek-


Alida's 1st purse! (as I'm sure there will be many more to come)



Time to compare, here is Alida this year playing the piano at 20 months old:


And here she was last year playing the piano, at only 8 months old- wow how much she's grown in just 1 year!




Our new favorite picture:


Alida and Jack Gordon, the best of pals! Though they never really talked to one another they totally blew kisses to each other during church, it was adorable.








Lida and Grandma Stout have the same shoes, too cute.


What a fun vacation, thank you Grandmas and Grandpas for such a fun time!

We went to see Molly Mouse's Sugar Plum Debut, Alida totally loved it- was very attentive to the entire show.
