Christmas in Huntsville

I had a wonderful time visiting John in Huntsville over the Christmas break. I got to see where he works at the arsenal, we talked wedding plans, did the first session of our pre-marital counseling, ate yummy food, saw the Blind Side, and celebrated Christmas! It was so fun opening presents with John David and Hudson! They were so excited!!
John got me a North Face jacket. I got him some Under Armour sneakers and some Nike Alabama gear



Now I am back in Charlotte to celebrate Christmas with my family and then head to Florida to visit my grandma & grandpa!
Merry Christmas!!
