Whelp, I really hadn't meant to take such a hiatus over Christmas, but first we were out of town to celebrate with Darrell's family, and then it just seemed like it was one thing after the other once we got back in town. But, I'm back now--just in time for the New Year!
The highlight of our trip to NC/GA was, of course, spending time with all of Darrell's family, but especially with our super cute nephew John. He just turned three over Thanksgiving, and although we haven't seen him since June, his mom used photos to "prep" him, so right away he recognized and warmed up to us. He had even learned our names, although he was much better at saying Jess than he was Darrell (not that I'm bragging or anything...)
Anyway, here are some photos from Christmas morning; even though I had my camera the whole four days we were down there I managed to take pictures only one time! Whoops!

| It's a matching game with trucks and trains! And next year we are going to take a page out of Grandmom and Granddad's book and have the game all ready to go as soon as he opens it--he was not impressed by the amount of time it took us to punch out all of the cards |

The other big highlight of our trip?!?! Learning that Darrell's sister Kim (mother to John), is due to have another boy in April! We've known about the pregnancy for a few months, but they just recently found out the sex at the beginning of December and kept it a secret until we all got together at Christmas. Super excited for her and the family and can't wait to meet baby this spring/summer!
