'Twas the Busy Days Before Christmas

On Tuesday afternoon, Chuck took me shopping at Kohls where I got some new boots, jeans and tops.  What a guy!  Then, later that evening, we went to Krogers and Publix to get groceries for the next few days of Christmas at the Robinsons.

We left Stone Mountain around 4 am on Wednesday morning and drove to Nashville in the car to pick up my mom and bring her back to Atlanta to spend Christmas with all of us.  Except for some rain, the drive to Nashville went very smoothly.  We ran a couple of errands in Nashville, picked up my mom and then headed back to Atlanta.  The drive back to Atlanta was much slower going.  The traffic around Chattanooga was horrible and not any better in Atlanta.

We drove to Tafanie and Cory's first so mama (GiGi) could spend some time with them before they would be heading out to visit Cory's family.

After Cory got home from work, Bell, Emmaline and Ruby opened their Christmas presents from GiGi and from us.

Ruby really liked the rain boots her sisters got for Christmas.  They were just a little big for her!

After the girls finished opening their presents, we enjoyed a delicious spaghetti dinner that Tafanie had cooked and some of those sweet Christmas cookies for dessert.  :)

We said our good-byes to Tafanie, Cory, Bell, Emmaline and Ruby and asked them to be sure and tell the rest of the Van Wyngardens we said Merry Christmas.  Then we took GiGi over to Crystal and Grant's where she would be staying over the Christmas holidays.
