Christmas at the beach...

We were so spoiled this Christmas-- we were able to spend it with Justin's family at an amazing beach house in South Carolina! It was incredible-- what a picturesque setting, wonderful company, and fabulous food! We stayed up late chatting and woke up early... thanks Mylie! :) Mylie had some rough moments-- traveling with kids is hard-- they need structure! She also was teething and got her two front teeth for Christmas--they broke through anyway. A special thanks goes to Gerri and Steve for making it such a wonderful vacation-- it wouldn't have come off without you and we are so thankful for all that you did!

Christmas Eve Day we headed to a little BBQ place-- we couldn't go home to SC without trying some BBQ. It was SO good! We had a little alone family time which was nice and discovered a new favorite place.


Mylie loved Christmas morning-- she was all smiles and clapped for the first time! Nana & Papa, as well as lots of Aunts and Uncles, spoiled her rotten! We came home with a VERY full suitcase full of new toys that make lots of noise and books galore...


The beach was amazing. We had a few days of GREAT weather-- 60s and then we had some cold days too. I was in heaven with my camera! We took some fun shots...



Some of my favorite moments were just hanging around as a family and chatting! And there was plenty of room in the kitchen for all the girls to cook together... that was really fun!! Other events included many trips to the store for forgotten items, Wild Wings (twice), South Carolina Aquarium, the Slave Market, and much more. Here are just a few more pics of our other adventures.




I love Christmas!!
