Traveled up to Locust Grove, GA, on Thursday morning. Thought about leaving Wednesday night, but didn't see the need to drive all night. Besides, driving during the day meant we got to stop at the St. Augustine outlets! Hooray for new Sketchers!
Once we got to GA we had fun with Mom, Dad, Robbie, and Lindsey (his gf) just hanging out and doing Christmas. Dad made a ham and we ate off of it the whole time we were there! Maw-Maw decided not to make her traditional sausage balls for breakfast on Christmas, so Mom made (and burned) them instead :-) They were still a hit! Jen made mac & cheese to take to Aunt Jerri's house (we are married now and must contribute!).
We opened presents on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas morning to keep from being so rushed all of Christmas day. It didn't work, but it was nice to have some time to play with new toys before heading out the door. The highlights:
- iPod Nano from Jen (2GB)
- digital camera from Mom & Dad (Fuji FinePix F460)
- super cool remote from Robbie (Logitech Harmony 676)
- new printer for Jen (HP PSC 1510xi)
- cool print of Mars picture from Tom
- a chocolate fountain
- DVDs
- books
- clothes
Aunt Jerri's house was packed with people and food. Yum! It was nice to catch up with everyone before playing the present game. We started out nice, but got busy stealing in no time (the Pyrex set was a hit). I ended up with an electric screw driver!
The day went by quick, but we still made time to see Robyn and Craig in Stockbridge.
Next up: Episode II: The Northeast!
