Merry Christmas!

For Christmas this year we spent a week in Nashville, TN with Kevan's family. We had a great time seeing everyone. Here are a few pictures below.

Kevan's Birthday

We went back to Mount Mitchell for Kevan's birthday. We also stopped by Linville Cave's on the way home. Here are some pictures from our trip. Also, notice the Mt. Mitchell parking lot when there isn't snow!

We met The President!

We went to a fair and met The President while we were there! I even gave him a little kiss on the cheek! :o)

Misty's First Bath

We had to give Misty her first bath. Kevan held her in the sink while Judy washed her. Poor little kitty! As soon as she got put back down on the floor she went straight to her food bowl and ate the whole bowl of food! She eats when she's stressed out.

Awe!

Mount Mitchell for Jayde's birthday

Kevan took me to Mt. Mitchell for my birthday this year. We stayed at a Bed & Breakfast in Burnsville, NC. We had a great time. It was about 50 degrees in Burnsville, but as we drove up the mountains it became VERY cold. I believe it was below zero, but I can't remember. We drove to see Mt. Mitchell on Saturday, but it was so foggy/snowy that it was closed off so we went back on Sunday and it was so beautiful. It is amazing to see the beauty that God has created for us.

When we got to the top there was a foot path to walk up to the peak. We did not have the clothing we needed so I stayed in the car and Kevan walked up to the peak to take pictures. I've attached a picture of the elevation we were at and a picture of the parking lot where I waited in the nice warm car while Kevan went up to the top to take pictures. :o)
