Christmas in Carolina

We had a great Christmas in South Carolina. Holden (and Raven) did really well on the 8 hour car ride down and back but it took him a few days to adjust to his new sleeping arrangement. I don't think he's going to fit in the pack & play much longer. On the other hand, Raven had no problem at all sleeping and snuggled right in to Lindsey's bed. Overall he did really well and loved spending time with his cousins which included a trip to the park, a visit to the zoo, and playing in the backyard. We all loved the warmer weather, including Rob, David, Chris and Ernie who all enjoyed 2 rounds of golf...not bad for December!

One of many shows the girls put on for us.

Beautiful flowers Rob had delivered to me on Christmas Eve...awwww.

The wagon was a hit with everyone.

Fun with Grammy.More fun with Grammy.Feeding time at the zoo.
We loved the giraffes.
And this guy, too.
But the monkeys were our favorite. They were putting on quite a loud and amusing show for us.

Lindsey borrowed my camera to take a picture. Somehow she figured out how to take pictures in black & white. Thanks for the tip, Linds!

The only downside to the wagon...not a great place to take a nap. We planned ahead and had the stroller with us for this very reason.

All in all, we had a great trip and want to thank Chris, David, and Christopher for hosting us. Happy New Year to everyone!!
