Christmas and New Year's in the Peach State

We celebrated a belated Christmas with Nanna and Grandpa at our house. Our tree was filled with gifts bearing large tags so Henry could spell out his name. After having two Christmas mornings in Michigan, Henry knew exactly what to do with a present! Elmo was clearly a theme this year, along with fun outdoor toys like a sled (with ice packs that slide in the bottom to use in snow-less GA!) and a cottage for the backyard. Henry loved Christmas with Nanna and Pa, even if he only took one bite of his banana split breakfast. One day he will learn what a delicious tradition that is.

We rang in 2012 with Nanna, Pa, Uncle Chris, and Aunt Stacie with a festive Chinese dinner. Chris provided the festivity by supplying blinged-out top hats and themed napkins. Stacie said it best - "Chris really loves holidays." After dinner, we entertained ourselves until midnight with Gus' new present: Big Game Hunter for the Wii. Who would have thought a plastic orange shotgun could be so entertaining for our rowdy group of grandparents and pregnant ladies?!

We ended the weekend with a Southern New Year's Day dinner of roasted pork (for progress), black-eyed peas (for good luck), greens (for money), and cornbread (for humbleness). It was delicious, and Henry is bound to be humble this year after his three helpings of cornbread!
