merry merry round 2

After we left Nashville, we headed to Chattanooga for Christmas round 2 with the Byrons!  We got to spend more time with sweet baby Baker (and everyone else!) and Ben got spoiled with even MORE gifts.  My camera of course died right in the middle of present opening. It was HILARIOUS.  We let Ben stay up almost an hour past his usual bedtime (and we were in Eastern time zone, so that helped, too) and he got slap happy and started swimming through all of the wrapping paper and throwing it in the air like he was in a pile of  leaves. It was SO funny.  Matt's Aunt Barbara, Uncle Jerry and cousin Sarah came up the mountain from North Chattanooga, too, so it was truly a family affair!  As with the last post, I'll let the pictures do the talking :)

Since we went to the Zoo in Nashville, we decided to continue with the animal entertainment and went to the aquarium! It was awesome.  The newer side was all ocean animals and a feature penguin exhibit.  It was so neat... the sharks were my favorite!

Ben LOVED the escalators!

touching sting rays...

Then we checked out the freshwater side...

Then, we had to get a few photo opps of the boys in their matching outfits before we hit the road...

until next year... merry christmas, love the Byrons!!
