Since James' flight went out on Christmas evening. We decided to stop by the Opryland Hotel on the way back from the airport and see the lights. The kids wanted to stay home and continue building, so it was just the four of us (Mel, Ben, Eric and I). Ben had never been to Nashville, so we didn't want him to miss out on one of my favorite things: Opryland Hotel.
While the lights were absolutely stunning and beautiful, I think that I still enjoyed it more out-of-season when you can see all the beautiful flowers, plants, and vegetation in full daylight.
These hot-air balloons moved across the room slowly.

This picture of Mel and Ben was too bright on their faces, so I tried to adjust the brightness, but it left unnatural shadows on Melanie's face.
We did manage to find my favorite gelato place though, so that made me happy. It would have been 100 times better without my stomach ache, but it was still enjoyable to be with Melanie and Ben.
Melanie and Ben left early the next morning to head back to Texas. We had a wonderful time with them and with James. Thank you for coming to spend Christmas with us. It was great to meet Ben for the first time. He is a really great guy.

It looks so beautiful! I definitely want to go back there some day....not sure when we'll make it out to Tennessee again, but hopefully before you guys move and with Scott & Corey this time..that Gelato was so good!
I can't believe how beautiful Opryland is. I would like to see Nashville at Christmas. I love all the pics. I am the same with feast or famine- I get behind then catch up really quick :)
Wow. That hotel is beautiful!
Great Posts! I need to get mine done as well! And get all those great pics I got posted. Would you like me to maybe send a thumbdrive with Mom and Dad with the ones of your fam?
