christmas wrap-up

Adding Vanessa into Christmas morning festitivies was much fun--she went along with all of our crazy traditions and we had a really great time!
Kyle is sporting one of his day-of-the-week mustaches and trying out a new self portrait taking device:)

Carly trying on her new frog toboggan.
We got some great surprises from the Bells!



A new warm hat...that matches his pajamas!

Unwrapping presents, practicing duck calls, eating bacon...the fun of the morn:)


Today we saw the sun come out, so we traversed Sweetwater Creek a bit--and we did pretty good at this family self portrait!


Found the perfect log in the sun to stop for a sandwich break.


the sound of the rushing water was so much fun--it's still quite full after all the rain it has gotten this year


trying out the new poles i got for christmas
verdict: winner! they helped me get up slippery slopes, across water and rocks, and they even saved my clumsy self from going face first a time or two:)
Our time all together has been really wonderful--just like being warm and cozy by a big fire.
Carly leaves with the Georgia Tech band in the a.m. for Orlando and then the bowl game in Miami--sure would be fun if they won her last year!
