Christmas in Kentucky

After a detour around Atlanta, 10 hours, and a very tired Mommy and Daddy, we finally reached Louisville, our destination over 9 days of being at home. Hooray! I can't remember the last time we were able to come back to Kentucky for this extended amount of time. Nice long, relaxing holiday week, you say? No way! We jam packed our week with a trip to The Galt House's Winter Wonderland, holiday and birthday parties, trips to Incredible Dave's, UofL games, a side trip to Belterra, relative holiday hopping, nights out with friends and a couple of movies. I needed a vacation from our vacation after we got home. Luckily, as soon as we got back to SC, we were able to relax a little over New Year's. However, our New Year's was also spent reorganizing out house just to fit the now massive collection of toys that were accumulated over the holidays!

The Galt House was decorated beautifully. We founded a new family tradition of going there to visit the WinterWonderland and to see Santa!

There were countless trees on display throughout the hotel.

This display of silk chinese lanterns greeted us at the WinterWonderland in the Conservatory.

There was a real gingerbread house and castle. Their chef and staff was working overtime to say the least putting together this display

Oh boy, Oh boy, waiting in line to see Santa....he must be super awesome to have to wait in line to see!

Code Red...Code Red....Santa is not so awesome! Maybe next year!

At least they gave me a giant lollipop to suck on after we saw Santa to calm me down!

Christmas in South Carolina

Christmas came early this year since we wanted to celebrate in our own house before taking off for Kentucky. So, we did just that the night before we left for our long journey. It was a nice, quiet, relaxing night. A far, far cry of what was to come over the actual holiday with 3 girls under 3 and oodles and oodles of gifts. Abigail was a very good girl this year as Santa brought her Mickey & Minnie, an outside playhouse(which she would like to just post up in and live), a basketball goal, a learning puppy, lots of clothes and countless babies.

I am ready for my presents...bring it on!

Like I don't already have enough clothes...please...next present!

That's more like it....I want toys!

Chi Town...BBBRRRRRR!

In Early December, Andy had to go to a conference in Chicago. So, we decided to extend that little trip and Abigail and I flew up there to spend a couple of days. It was her first time flying and she did great, it was just exhausting for me(especially since I was on my own on the way up there.) We were so lucky to stay with the McKian's while we were up there. Jen, Dan and Avery accommodated us in their awesome condo in Wrigleyville and we had a blast watching the girls play and catching up. It really put us in the Christmas Spirit since it was snowing on our way back to SC. Check out some pics below:

Make your own Gingerbread cookie at Lincoln Park Zoo, that cookie lasted about .5 seconds!

Zoo Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo, puts our little zoo lights to shame. Plus, it's free, can't beat that!

I can't move my arms!
