Christmas, New Years, Sugar Bowl, & Nashville

Sorry it has been so long since I have added pics - we were out of town all of Christmas and New Year's so it's taking me a while to get caught back up...thank heavens for days off!! Here's a few highlights from the last few months...



Christmas with my family - love you guys! My "chef husband" gets yet another cookbook...but I am NOT complaining - I rarely have to cook and his food is WONDERFUL! Keep up the good work babe!
My mom may have the best "surprised" face ever :)
Little Riley in his new sweater from Aunt Kristen - he's so poofy he looks like he's wearing a hula skirt!
Whitney with her baby and new furniture - by the way, her new place is SO cute!
Then, off to Georgia we went for Christmas....here is our little one in his Santa outfit...we really need some kids so I will stop embarrassing the dog :)


My little Santa baby
The biggest excitement of Christmas - "RockBand" - Zach's brother, Nick, got it for Christmas and is was a Rockband extravanganza the rest of the time we were there! (I should have been a drummer..haha!)
Sorry - forgot to flip this picture - we went to our friends house, Jacob and Audrey, for New Years - they live in Mississippi not far from the gulf so we went to eat at this fun restaurant at the top of a casino. The little ball at the top is where we ate.




Thanks for letting us visit - we had a great time - miss you guys!
And, finally the big hightlight of the trip...Zach's Christmas present. He got tickets to the Sugar Bowl (Georgia vs Hawaii) - they played on New Year's Day in New Orleans. It was my first time there so we did as much sight-seeing as possible in 24 hours!





GEORGIA WINS....GO DAWGS!!!!

They had a really cool Sugar Bowl museum down in the French Quarter that we toured.


Zach, being the Food Network fan that he is, has successfully eaten at at least four of Emeril's restaraunts so we continued the tradition on our trip - this was one he ate at the last time he came.
Me outside the one we actually ate at.
The food was SO good as usual. The service is unbelievable - they really make you feel special while you're there.
OK - I had to take a picture of this guy - I'm worried about some of these Georgia fans. And yes, in case you're wondering, the lights going around the "G" did light up and flash!


Whitney got mom "Dancing with the Stars" tickets to their tour in Nashville for Christmas. She was SO excited and the dancing was unbelievable! I mean, slightly better than when we were on Southern Belles...hahaha!





Out to eat at this fun little spot in Nashville - I love this city!


Zach and his brother, Nick - he goes to Vandy.
