North Carolina Christmases: Dec. 26th - Jan. 1st

Carolina Beach Christmas with my Mom, Grandma (in from OH) and Colin (in from AZ)

We left Maryland at 4am on Dec. 26th, beat all traffic and got back to the beach by 10:30am. We unpacked, rested for a few, and then headed over to my mom's to start our celebrating with her!

Newland Christmas with my Dad

The shortage of pictures is not a reflection of a shortage of fun during our visit in the mountains - it was just the last leg of our trip!

Annual Fondue dinner - Colin is behind my big head!

What on earth did Jimmy and I do to deserve such fortunes?? Happy New Years everyone! 2012 is going to be a very special year for sure.
