We have been having a wonderful time. Poor Katie Beth has come down with a bad cold, but she has been a trouper even with an earache.

We have hiked a little, cooked a little, and relaxed a lot. We could be coming here again real soon.

Our morning started out at around 33°F as we loaded up into the car. We headed into the Great Smoky Mountains in search of a good hike. We decided on the hikes near The Sinks.

The Meigs Creek Trail is a very nice hike with a very smooth trail and some nice views. The lack of leafs allowed us to see even more nice views. The trail is also very nice because you start at one creek and walk to another creek so you get to hear the rushing water.

We have a wonderful evening strolling through the Galaxy of Lights. The weather was just perfect with temperature in the high 60′s.

Allison Tofflemire and the Riggle’s Family (Elizabeth, Bob, Matthew, and Michael) joined us for the walk.

Katie Beth had fun visiting Santa Claus.

Sometimes, Katie Beth just stops long enough for you to capture the moment in time. This was one of those times. She can make us smile, she can even make us crazy, but she is alway in our heart.
