For Christmas last year all the kids in my family got my parents a cabin weekend in the Smoky Mountains for our whole family. So last weekend was the time we made it happen. We chose to stay at Dreamcatcher Cabin which is owned by some friends of ours who are wonderful people.
We also chose to stay there because of the amazing views in every direction!
My wonderful parents :)

On Friday night we celebrated Maggie's birthday (which was actually that day) and my Mom's birthday (which is December 12th) It's sometimes tricky to get everyone together so this was the perfect time to do it!
It was great having everyone together!
Elizabeth & Christa were so excited the cabin was already decorated for Christmas!

On Saturday morning, we celebrated Christmas as a family since Colin will most likely be in Japan by that point. Christa & Annie went all out with their holiday attire :)

Later that afternoon the girls went shopping at the outlets and the guys went on a hike.

Later that day most of us got back to the cabin by 4pm in order to watch the SEC football championship. It was wonderful just lounging around with family, eating good food, and catching up with one another. We did manage to get a group shot at a stopping point during the game.
So thankful we were able to do this!
Perfect weekend getaway!
Erica, your family is beautiful!
