a tender tennessee christmas

I love Amy Grant at Christmastime, so I might use as many of those lines as I can. Hope you can handle them.

After we spent some time with Stephen’s family in Tennessee, we also went back to the Nashville area to visit friends there. We loved it.We stayed with our wonderful friends, the Adams, and loved it!

This is their sweet little girl, standing on the couch to take our picture. And it only took a little cropping!And we couldn’t forget a picture with the life-size Diego.

We also got to visit our Karen friends we spent the summer of 2008 with. It was so fun to see how much everyone had changed, see their beautiful smiling faces, and enjoy their beautiful singing voices!  They did a few special songs for us that were absolutely wonderful.

We also got to see the Cartwrights, who we count as a simple privilege to know. They inspire, challenge, stretch, encourage, and love us so well. The best way I can say it is this: if you get a chance to meet them, do it.

And have a very merry, tender Tennessee Christmas 🙂
