Our Christmas Vacation

We returned from our trip back to NC slightly exhausted, but extremely grateful for being able to join our family and friends for the Christmas and New Year holidays. Highlights:

· No traffic going or returning (Thanks Hwy 81!)

· Playing with all the nieces and nephews...bug ovens, doodle bears, a keyboard, an xbox, and chapstick were among the fav new toys

· Mmmm...REAL Barbeque (and sweet tea!)

· Seeing Winston friends and playing True Colors with Theresa, Andy, Karver, Elliott, and Lindsay

· Playing DDR and The Settlers of Catan with the Alleys

· A plethora of doggie playtime with Chauncy, Lewie (aka "lu-WEE!"), Ruger, Bailey, Bodie, Piper, and Tai

· Setting a record of places stayed: Hamers, Ledfords, Lewis family, Ward family, and Kelsey. (Thanks for giving our 2 human/2 dog clan a bed.)

· Meeting the newest member of the Greene family

· An engagement party for Greg and Emily

· Our family coming to church on Dec. 31 to hear and support Justin

· The awesome lunch at the Filling Station with family after... then tearful goodbyes

· Celebrating the New Year first with a UNC reunion, then at Karver's sweet WFU President’s garage crib (and watching Andy's elf dance)

· Justin eating a Brazil nut (by accident) and experiencing an extreme allergic reaction at hour 12 (of 14) on the return home (Please do NOT attempt to feed Brazil nuts or cashews to the Justin.)
