Day two...

The next 2 photos were taken outside at the Belle Meade Plantation..we were waiting to go into the mansion..where no photos are allowed. It was extremely sunny outside and COLD..so this was the best I could do. I speckled them a bit..whatever that means..it just changed the look a little.

P.S. This is the dress Mattie wore on Sunday A.C.T.G.F. I put it on her again today just for you!

The children were brought into the barn to make crafts. They made an ornament shaped like an old-timey car and a party hat made out of newspaper!

Inside the gift shop..waiting to start the tour of Visions of Sugar Plums: A Magical Children's Party (The Holiday's with the Jackson Children) Tickets for home schoolers were only $5.00, I got in free..because I am her administrator and Mattie was free! Cheap entertainment. We purchased our 2008 Christmas ornament in the gift shop..Izabelle picked it out. Actually we bought 2 ornaments..I found a little tiny glass pickle ornament..it is so sweet..I bought it for baby #4..Trae, Izabelle & Mattie already have their own pickle ornaments.

P.S. We still haven't decided on a name for our {elf on the shelf}..but we have narrowed it down to Bernard or Buddy..like on the movie Elf.
