old spaghetti factory and opryland hotel

Almost every Christmas season we take the kids to Opryland Hotel to see the lights... always an exciting and fun time.  This year we were blessed to have Rusty's mom with us for about 10 days so we took her along and of course it was Hope and Benjamin's first time to go.  Before saw the lights we went to The Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown Nashville (this is where we had our rehearsal dinner as when we got married).  Fun night and more crowded than I expected for  Monday night!!

sweet sisters:)

 a barrel (or should I say bench) full of monkeys!

Andrew taught Hope to say, NANA NANA BOO BOO and to stick her fingers in her ears while saying it... lovely!


AMAZED at the lights and decorations...



 Ma Sue (or Ma Moo as Hope affectionately says) with 5 of her 10 grandchildren!

 Fascinated by the water...

 And the many faces of Hope, all  in about 3 seconds...



 He did SO good to be in a huge place with a huge crowd!!  So Proud!



 There are horse and carriage rides at the hotel.  Benjamin likes horses almost as much as he did dogs when we first came home (if you don't know he HATED, very much hated, them)... he was intrigued with this set up...


A good night for us all...
