Winter Vacation...Part 1

We packed up on Thursday, February 4th and at 3:00am on Friday the 5th we set out for our drive to Atlanta. We made it to Craig's parents house by evening with only 4 stops on the way. Levi and the kids did great! We did have some van problems going through Tennessee. We could smell some fluid and pulled over at a gas station in the rain. Once we got to Atlanta Craig took it in and it was the heater coil (don't ask me what that is)! 3 days and $500 later we got our van back.

Friday night we were exhausted so spent a few minutes visiting with Ryan then we all went to bed. Saturday morning it was fun to see Ryan and Levi together and the other kids too! Some of Craig's family came over for a visit in the afternoon for lunch. Once everyone left, it was time to head out to the American Girl store. Memaw (Craig's mom), Autumn, Levi and I went to the store so Autumn could buy Lanie the new doll that she has been saving her money for! She was so excited! We went on the carousel at the mall and had dinner in the food court. It was a fun evening out for us girls (and Levi of course) !!!

Sunday we had family pictures scheduled at 10:00am so the morning was bust getting everyone ready...they turned out great! The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent relaxing and playing. Grandpa took the boys and me to Target so they could pick out their special toy since Autumn got an extra outfit for her doll at American Girl. The boys both got 3 little LEGO sets so the were busy when we got home.

Monday was a low key day just hanging around. Autumn and Drew came to Atlanta fighting a cold and Memaw and Craig ended up with it so with everyone not feeling the best, it was good to just relax some. Craig made a big breakfast and I slept in some! For dinner, Craig and I took the kids to Chuck E Cheese! They had fun and we ate yummy pizza!!!

Tuesday...today we are just hanging out again. Trying to get everyone healthy. We are thinking about some roller skating later this afternoon or something fun for the kids to release some energy. It's a little chilly here and raining today so not a great time to play outside. Tomorrow morning we are headed down to Florida. The plan is to stay at my Aunt Debbie's until Saturday. The kids will have some time to see their grandma Neville since she moved down here near Orlando. Hopefully the weather will be a little warmer so we can take some walks and enjoy some fresh air. I am thankful we are down south and not home for the 10 inches of snow that is supposed to fall today!
