We traveled to Hillsborough to begin our Christmas vacation with the Alexanders. David dropped off the kids just before Katie got home from work.
On Saturday, Audrey, Henry, Grandma and I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art. We had a great lunch in the Museum's restaurant.
Next, we visited the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit which included other artists as well. Audrey and Henry loved a wall that an artist made out of wax!
Hiking around the Museum grounds, I took this photo at the moment an alien spacecraft flew by!
On Sunday, the kids baked their mother her favorite pie...coconut cream. Audrey did the dough and...
Henry made the coconut cream! The pie was wonderful; Audrey and Henry are great bakers!
When Katie got home from worked we enjoyed a traditional turkey dinner with all of the fixins.
On the night before Christmas, Grandpa read The Night Before Christmas before the kids went to bed wearing their new pajamas.
Christmas morning was a festive time with many presents to open including a Play-Doh kitchen set for Audrey,
a Lego remote control car that Henry had to build with his Mom, and a Nintendo Game Box with a Pokémon game from Santa Claus!
We had a wonderful Christmas celebration with you and the kids Katie! Thank-you so much!!
Tuesday December 26th
We are off to Murrells Inlet to celebrate Christmas with the Hills. On arrival, we found Kelley and Maggie with festive decorations in front of their house!
When Seth got home from work, we opened presents and ate dinner before heading to the condo. Wednesday morning, Kelley dropped off Maggie on her way to work and we headed out to get supplies for dinner and to eat lunch at Chick-fil-A.
In the afternoon, Maggie made a pumpkin pie for her mom and dad. It was delicious! Maggie is a great baker!!
Thursday Maggie was itching to spend some of her Christmas money. Kelley got tickets to see Mary Poppins, so we headed to the mall early so Maggie could shop. She picked out a really nice sparkling backpack to buy, one like she always wanted! The new Mary Poppins movie is great, we really enjoyed it!
Friday morning arrived too soon and we checked out of the condo, stopped to say goodbye to Maggie and Kelley and then set the GPS for home! Thanks so much Kelley and Seth for a wonderful Christmas celebration!
