We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas celebration! The Bates sure did. They spent last weekend together in East Tennessee, and then some of the older children went their separate ways to be with other family and friends for the actual holiday.
Now that Christmas is officially over, it's time to look ahead to New Year's and the season eight premiere of Bringing Up Bates. January 3rd is only eight days away.
