GLOG: Christmas trip to SC

This year (our first year in another state) we went to SC for Christmas. I was very lucky in getting off for the Christmas holiday - however I did pay a small price to get it off, I worked 48 hours over Thanksgiving. We left on Friday the 18th and I returned on Sunday the 27th. Here's a quick breakdown of what we managed to do while we were there.

Friday the 18th - spent 8 hours in the car d

riving through rain, sleet, and snow.

We drove straight to my in-laws to celecrate Christmas with Gregs dad and Tammy because they we going out of town the next day. We then quicky went over to my mom's house to say Happy Birthday to my little sister Kim. We finally headed to Greg's mom's house to stay for a few days.

Saturday the 19th - We headed to the dealership to talk about getting a new car. Sadly, we left without one. We hung out with Greg's mom, Izzy, Mema, and Pepa - had dinner and played dominoes - Greg tried to cheat at this game :)

Sunday the 20th - We celebrated Christmas with Greg's aunt, uncle and cousins from Columbia, SC. We watched a movie with the family and spent some nice family time together.

Monday the 21st - Baby day! I had lunch with my mom, younger sister and older sister (michelle) who is expecting a little boy in April. We then went to the furniture store and saw the bedding, crib, furniture she is getting as well as picked out a rocker for the nursery. I love the baby stuff and can't wait to be an aunt.

Tuesday the 22nd - did nothing but hung out at my mom's house. Greg actually brought his computer (desktop not laptop) and xbox to SC so if we had some down time he could get some playing in. No I don't mind that he does this - I knew this about him well before we got married.

Wednesday the 23rd - We drove to Columbia, SC to pick up Greg's sister Jenny from the airport. She was flying in from Austin, TX. She got to participate in Greg's obsession with Fuddruckers on the way home (we had to eat there for lunch). That night we went to Tim's new house to hang out for a Hollytrean night. (Hollytree is the subdivision that Greg grew up in and he has 5 friends that all get together when someone comes to visit). We missed Jeff and Beth who were in TN visiting some family. Brian, Todd, Tim and Greg at Tim's.
