Opryland

I think we finally figured out the best day to visit Opryland!  We go every Christmas season to walk around the hotel and see the lights.  But since the hotel is next to Opry Mills, there is a ridiculous amount of traffic.  The cars usually back up for a mile just on the highway and then it takes forever to get into the parking lot.

My mom was supposed to fly in on December 23rd.  Unfortunately her flight got canceled and she didn't arrive until Christmas Eve.  She got in around 5pm so we headed straight to Opryland after picking her up.

There was no traffic at all (even though Opry Mills was still open).  It was so nice!

This year there were giant nutcrackers with directions on how to get to different attractions.  Rylan is obsessed with nutcrackers and has to pick up every single one he sees in stores.  I like Carter copying this nutcracker's arms.

I think Carter is copying the middle snowman and Rylan is making himself a carrot nose.

The biggest Christmas tree I've ever seen ...

Huge poinsettia tree ...

The lights are everywhere and so pretty!
