christmas: part 7 of 7! finally!

this is it folks!  the last christmas 2010 post....finally!  boy it's been a long time since christmas i literally thought i would have a "christmas in july" post! 

to end our wonderful christmas break we spent new years eve with emily, marc, eli, aimee and their doggy, lucy.

on our drive down from nc to ga, we left about 8pm the night before new years eve.  it was dark and at one point cashel and i had this exchange:

cashel: mommy, i'm scared

me: of what baby?

cashel: uncle marc

me:  why?

cashel: because he's so tall

hahahahahahahahahaha!

we all got a good laugh out of that one!

we spent the night at mary and kelly's then emily picked us up the next morning and we headed to loganville.

the kids had a great time playing outside for a while, but once cashel had to start looking out for dog poop in the yard he only cared to play inside.  seriously?  yes. 

aimee really took to cashel this time because he was totally out of the pulling hair phase, although he did have his moments of too much excitement, pushing, shoving, pulling, getting into trouble, etc.  his two-ness came into full effect at times.  eli enjoyed showing cashel his model train that uncle wayne had given to him, and trying to get cashel to play ball. 

later that night, after aunt ellen and uncle wayne had left from a chili dinner together, marc and emily had a few friends over.  we ate.  boy did we (me) eat some yummy, yummy food. we totally thought cashel would conk out at 10pm-ish but no....this boy saw the new year in!

we had a great time and we also grateful that emily braved a terrible storm to drive us the hour drive to the airport the next day.  thanks georgia family!  we're so glad you got to see us on your turf this (last) year!  (wink)
