Here and Gone....

Holidays here and gone. We had some very special visitors this week. Neal's parents came out for a few days and were here over Christmas. SO glad that they could be here with us over the holidays. We had a couple nice days but I did miss the 70's weather that we had the days before they arrived. 

 In anticipation for the arrival of G'ma and Papa kids and I did some crafts. Once again Ethan was distracted with something else about 2 minutes into the project...sigh. Conner and I did manage to convince him to come back and play with us a little more tho.

 No snow here so we made some snow flakes for our patio door.

 Cuties

 We opened presents Christmas Eve.....we got some great stuff :)

 These awesome shirts that all 3 boys wore every day since they got them :)

 Ethan has been wanting a super fast bike like his brother :) he was one happy camper. He has also gotten very good at riding it.

 All decked out in his Lightning McQueen gear

 G'ma and Papa took the kids for a walk one night and looked at all the lights in our neighborhood.

 All I can say is SERIOUSLY.....cars that drive on walls and ceilings.

 We were trying to catch a carriage ride downtown but missed it by just a little bit so instead we headed down to the beach for a bit.....windy and bright but I still love it.

 G'ma Papa and kidos....

 Have I ever mentioned that I love the beach

 Then we headed to James Island for the light show......love that place.

 We ate a WHOLE bag of marshmallows and then we went out for ice cream :))))))))

 Alll 3 in their matching shirts....love them.

 Papa and baby Chris

 We also did a boat tour of the Charleston Harbor.....it was so neat. So much History there and it was so great to get a little tour and learn a little about Charleston and the Harbor. Conner for some reason thought that we were going to go over a waterfall the ENTIRE time so he was holding on to G'ma for dear life the entire tour. Not sure what his problem was probably something he saw in a show or something. Crazy kid!

Our boat

leaving the dock

 My dream house and of course it has to be located in the top 10 most expensive places to live

 Yes I was there too

 We also had tickets to go for a carriage ride but we did not know that we had to book it. By the time we got there all the spots were taken so we were not able to go :( but our tickets do not expire so we will have to go the next time G'ma and Papa come to visit.

 We had so so much fun. Thanks for EVERYTHING G'ma and Papa come again soon.

 We have been having some fun with sparklers :)

 Just had to sneak this in here :)

Another busy day tomorrow! Neal starts a more NORMAL schedule on Monday.....FINALLY. So glad that the holidays are over and things can return to normal.
