Christmas time in TN

We left for TN the week before Christmas. To our luck, we ran into the "Blizzard of '09" on our way. We went about 2 miles in 2 hours before getting to the first exit. We then got stuck in the snow on a hill trying to get to a hotel which had no vacancy. (They should've put a sign at the bottom of the hill) We found out the interstates were closed due to the snow and ice. At this point it was about 11pm and we decided to head south to find a hotel. About an hour and two other hotels later we found a place. It wasn't a great hotel but at this point it didn't matter. We waited until late the next morning before continuing on by a very non-direct route towards TN. We finally reached Jonathan's parents 25 hours after we left our house.
We had a wonderful visit. Catherine had another ear infection so she wasn't too happy but it made her more snuggly. Jonathan and I were able to go on a date. We also were able to visit Chad and Amy and their daughter Audrey who is 4 days older than Catherine. We also had dinner at Uncle Christopher's house one night. It was such a good time with family.

Catherine and Audrey meeting for the first time.

It looks like Catherine is trying to get one of Audrey's toys without her watching.

Papa David getting some quality time with Catherine.

She constantly would crawl into the coffee tables at her grandparent's house. It had a glass top that she would make faces through.
