Christmas Recap

Hello from South Carolina!!! We've been on the road for a week now. We spent the first part of our Christmas vacation at my parents home. It was a fun time except for the fact that my poor dad was in quarantine for a few days when some sort of virus (with a fever) struck him and he didn't want to get anyone else sick!!!
Pictures...in reverse chronological order...ha!
Christmas Morning--Rody and his new sunglasses!
Eating some ice cream (later in the day)
Playing in his new fire truck! (He opened it on Thanksgiving...)

He LOVED the fireplace and helping to make fires...our fresh out of bed faces on Christmas morning!

Making Christmas Breakfast...Caleb threw a flag on some infraction on my mom's part...it is a part of his apron he received as a present...normally my dad makes the eggs and polish sausage, but this year Caleb had to step up and make the eggs....

Earlier on Christmas eve, we (mom, caleb, maggie, randy, rody and I) went to the Cheesecake factory for a late lunch and then Christmas Eve service at my parents church...Rody ate up some white bean hummus like it was going out of style...he LOVES hummus...funny, huh? It wasn't busy at all, but we ended up staying for 2 hours--and Rody did great!

Me and Maggie...like our new haircuts???
Randy and I...
Caleb, mom, Rody
And on the 23rd, we had our annual get-together with Pey and Laurin...so much fun! We spent most of the time talking and eating around the table while my parents played and watched the kiddos...this year, Chris (Ian's brother) joined us...which was fun since Chris and Randy were roommates for a while at UGA....

Loving us some Katers, Pey, and Laurin time!
And when we arrived on the 22nd, my mom pulled out the famous masks...which were hilarious! Caleb's was a santa claus one and Rody would say "ho ho ho"..which is funny b/c he doesn't really know who santa is....

Playing with Aunt Maggie on the floor...pushing and pulling....

And before my dad got sick...Rody LOVED hanging the candy canes on my parent's tree...he also loved taking off the birdies and putting them back on...and always wanted the lights on...
As a Merry Christmas to us, my dad helped out and we purchased a smashing new camera...with a super zoom and everything...we've been having fun taking some picutres and will post some South Carolina ones when we get back to Tennesee and figure out how to download them all!
