Merry Christmas to All

Tim had to work the first weekend of December so Creighton and I attended his buddy Reed's first birthday party without him. The second weekend Meme and Papa were able to come up to visit us and take a tour of the Biltmore house and all the seasonal decorations.





The third weekend we spent at the cabin in Blue Ridge, GA celebrating Christmas with the Suskay, Doran, and Flowers families. We missed you Aunt Mollie and Uncle Drew. Papa got an outdoor climbing wall for the cabin, Meme received a new sewing table, and we received a one year pass to the Georgia Aquarium...we can't wait to see the look on Creighton's face when we check it out. The weekend was fun for all...we picked out a tree together, decorated cookies, put together a puzzle, and danced. Creighton, Madelyn, and Patrick were smiles all weekend.

Here is a video clip of the way Creighton enjoys opening presents this year...he likes to make sure every piece of wrapping paper is off before he starts to play with the new toy. I love it!







Creighton LOVES to vacuum as much as I do...doesn't seem to matter the size of the vacuum.




Then we hit the road and spent the next week in Maryland. Creighton was an amazing traveler the whole drive up to see Grammy, Pop-pop and Aunt Stacy. He enjoyed every minute of his time exploring Grammy and Pop-pop's house and playing with all the new toys Santa had brought him, he must have been a really good boy this year. It was great to be back in Maryland for Christmas, visiting friends and family we haven't seen in years.





Abbie and Matt came to visit us the last weekend in December. We enjoyed the unseasonably warm temperatures, checked out French Broad Brewing Co., and invited some friends over to celebrate Irish New Years (7pm our time). It was a fun evening watching Creighton and his friends, Liam and Reed, run around while we visited and grazed on a plethora of appetizers and local libations.

Merry Christmas and hope that your 2011 was as wonderful as ours! We are looking forward to our 2012, which is sure to be full of a whole slew of firsts for our amazing little boy.
