We had a very nice Christmas! We did end up going to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg Christmas Eve and got our funnel cakes, but we ran into a HUGE thunderstorm while in Gatlinburg!! The lightning was so creepy while on the mountain.....and it rained so hard it started to flood!! I did get to talk to family yesterday. My oldest sister and her family went to my dad's for Christmas, as did one of my other sisters and her family. Plus, my mom's brother (who is also battling cancer) was there. I had originally called to wish my dad a merry Christmas and he had told my oldest sister was there and everyone else was on the way, then he got a little choked up and said "I really wish you could be here, but of course I understand." We talked for a minute or too longer and he sounded so sad. :( My sister Dee got on the phone and we talked a little. I asked how dad was doing and she said he was holding up good, but had mentioned to her he really wished Tyler, Zane and I could be there but said not to say anything to anyone. I knew this holiday would be a little rough since it's only been 2 months since mom has been gone, but it really hit after I talked with my family.
