Caesars Head

The weather was warmer than it had been, so we decided to head up to Caesars Head for a Sunday afternoon hike.  Turns out, it was much much colder up the mountain, so our hike was more of a short stroll in the woods! Regardless, Caroline liked being toted around by her Daddy and didn't seem to be too bothered by the cold.  All in all, it was a nice (very short) trip up the mountain!

Goodbye, York Drive!

I said goodbye to the house I lived in for 8 years today.  It was a great house!  I take with me so many wonderful memories from my years there.  My first house, the first house Lee and I lived in together, Caroline's first house, the list goes on!  It was a bittersweet day.  I am a little sad to leave Columbia and all of my friends, but excited about our new adventures in Greenville!  I am looking forward to finding a new house in Greenville that we can make our next home.

7 months!

At 7 months, Caroline:
*can sit up and stay up!  She still tips over some, but stays up for long periods of time now.
* has 2 bottom teeth
*loves bath time
*continues to be a good sleeper, going down about 8:30 pm and waking at 7 am.
*loves to eat.  She is a big fan of Puffs right now!

Lee's birthday aka New Years Eve aka Go Tigers!

Lee's birthday present was a fantastic Clemson win!  

Christmas in Greenville

With my new job, I don't have any vacation time accrued and the office was open on Christmas Eve, so I had to work a half day.  We decided to stay in Greenville with our little family of three.  I must admit, I thought it might be a little depressing to be home alone on Christmas because Caroline doesn't understand it yet, but it turned out to be awesome.  We had a wonderful first Christmas at home with her!

On Christmas Eve, we went to Fresh Market and got all of our favorite foods for a fantastic dinner.  After the Cuttino kids went to sleep, we went over to eat with Ashley and Brad.  Santa had a big surprise for Grayson, Anna Parker and Cooper and it required some assembly on Christmas Eve night.  Caroline and I supervised!

Christmas Day was great.  We had a great brunch at home, went to see what Santa brought the Cuttinos, then opened presents with Caroline.  She obviously doesn't get Santa, but she did love playing with all of her new toys!

Christmas in St. Matthews

Bubbles and Mimi got a swing set!  The kids had a blast. There is a big kid swing, a little kid swing, a slide, a tire and more.  You name it, this swing set has it.  It was Caroline's first time in the swing and she LOVED it!  

We opened some presents....

And had a delicious dinner.  

We didn't get to stay long, but we made the most of the time we were there!  

Christmas in Aiken

Poor Sydney was looking rough, but she still rocked the Santa suit!

We went to visit Mimi
