I am still way behind on my blogging. I'm going to have to catch up so I can actually write about present day things like all the snow we're still getting in Nashville. My brother-in-law emailed that in Arkansas they're calling it Snow-Plosion 2011 (they called the last snow storm a few weeks ago Snow-Mageddon). I almost didn't make it in to work last night (I finally did thanks to my sweet husband shoveling the driveway for half an hour and then driving me in). It was a traffic mess! One of my co-workers took 3 hours to make it to her house one mile away and it was taking people >1 hour to get out of our parking garage. Oof. I guess that day it was good I was working nights and wasn't making the rush hour trip home. Nashville drivers do not know how to handle snow!
Now to the actual post. My family came up to Nashville to celebrate Christmas Eve with us (as they have been sweet enough to do every year since we started residency). Matt and I both had to work Christmas this year but were both home on the afternoon/eve of Christmas Eve giving us just enough time to have a little Christmas celebration.
Here are some pics:
Decorating the tree. Lucas did surprisingly good with the tree in part probably because he didn't know that I had chocolate ornaments (non-breakable) on the bottom part of the tree this year.
Hanging out before the celebration.

And another...
Somehow he got "Lulu" (his paci) out of bed. Sneaky kid.
Christmas Eve music

It takes lots of help!
Finally done!
Christmas morning, Matt and I headed in to take call and Lucas headed out with my parents.
A snowy Christmas day!
Our Christmas meal at the hospital. Not bad for an on-call potluck.
