Christmas with the Welches

The day after Christmas, Damon's mom and dad came up from Texas to deliver us a couch for the new house. Then we all headed out towards Nashville to have Christmas with the family. Our kids were so excited and ready for a great time with their cousins. I believe we can say a great time was had!! Whenever we get together it is a wild and crazy time with Laura Beth (6), Johnathan (6), Carter (5) and Addison (4). We had Christmas morning on Saturday with a wonderful brunch, stockings and , then, present time. Laura Beth is going to follow in her mom's footsteps as she received a REAL digital camera and scrapbook supplies!! Carter had a Star Wars Christmas as did Johnathan with a little Narnia thrown in there. Addison has everything now a true Disney princess needs! Our side of the family even got a little Texas Longhorn gear while Dustin's (Damon's brother) side got some Aggie gear. It was a great morning.
That night for supper, we all dressed up with somewhere to go . . . .
Maggiano's Little Italy!!!


This restraunt on the West End of Nashville is a real treat! We loved every bit of it. We chose the homestyle family cooking dinner and were brought plate upon plate of wonderful food. We ate until our hearts (and bellies) were full! It is a wonderful treat and I can't wait to go back! One of the best parts was getting to take home all our leftovers! We ate it again Sunday for lunch! It was a real treat!
Some of our family shots from Maggiano's. The top left picture is of Mama C (Damon's mother) with the grandkids.
More shots (I could have taken all day long) from the night. Top right picture is my sister-in-law, Rebecca, with her kids, Johnathan and Addison.

  8. What great pictures Becky! Someday I have to learn how to do these cool colages! I love LB's dress. My girls all had Rosalina ones like that (and they all matched) when they were little. I hadn't thought of them until I saw sweet Laura Beth!
