I hEaRt ChArLeStOn...



The Jail... it just happens to be voted "The Most Haunted Building in Charleston"
Considering how "haunted" the city is suppose to be, that's saying something!




I just couldn't get enough of the gorgeous historic homes!
They were so amazing!


We got to go on a Ghost Tour of the city.
It was so much fun, we visited a few graveyards, and heard some spooky stories.

I just loved the city. I am far from a "city girl" but Charleston is intoxicating. I have completely fallen in love with the city. The history just seemed to suck you in. It was so amazing! I would so love to go back, again and again.

Great Vacation, thanks Scotty and thanks Norm and Laurel! It was so great!

OvEr the RiVeR and ThRu the WoOds....



I'm not sure why my stinkin' pictures ALWAYS post out of order! I even double checked,
and still when I posted they went crazy. Crap!

To GrAnDmA & GrAnDpA's hOuSe We gO...

The day after we got to Seneca, Grandpa, Daddy, and Sam went to Atlanta
to pick up Auntie Katie from the airport.
So, Grandma and I took the girls to see Santa.
Brookie was so funny she ran right up to Santa and hugged him. Then, it was as if she went into a coma, because she wouldn't even look at him for the rest of the visit.
The best part was that Avery (who is 8) still doesn't like Santa. When she was little she had a nervous breakdown when we went to see him. EVERY YEAR!
So, now that she's a "big girl" she pretends to like him... ya know until she's staring him in the face and then she won't have anything to do with him.
I had to talk her into sitting by Savannah in the picture. She's hilarious!
We were looking for something to keep the kids from dying of boredom at the mall. Thank goodness there was this cute little train riding thru it.
I thought the older girls wouldn't be too happy about having to ride the baby train with their baby sister. I think they secretly loved it too!

This was one amazing mall!
We spent a good part of the day here, and didn't see a half of it.
And, of course because my pictures posted funky...
this is Miss Brookie on the plane. She was a fun bundle of energy THAT DIDN'T
DOZE OFF ONCE! Yep not once from Utah to South Carolina!
She's lucky she's cute!!

We had so much fun in South Carolina, and the little we saw of Georgia was fabulous too!

So much to post... and so little time!

I have SO much to post!
December flew by in a flash... I'm still not sure where the whole month went!
Now here we are into a new month and a new year...
But first I need to post all the fun stuff we've been up to.

We went sight seeing around Seneca, South Carolina. Gorgeous!

The girls and I got to see Santa at the Mall of Georgia.

Avery built a fabulous snowman in our front yard... in the dark!


Savannah turned 11!! And, her crazy Mom took her and her stinky friends
to the movies. She picked the Princess and the Frog for her
Birthday Movie. Yes, she's 11! I love her!


After a crazy Birthday her Mom was lame and just bought a cake.
But we did all love it.

So, busy busy December... we did also happen to Celebrate Christmas.
More to come, I'm still unpacking and getting laundry under control.
