WOW!!!! So much has happened since day 4 of our Christmas vacation! I will try to give you the brief synopsis.
Okay, so on day 3, Tuesday, we got to go see the lights with Grandma, Papa, and Scottie at Lake Lanier. They were so pretty!!! We had a great time driving through seeing all the different things. We got to see the 12 Days of Christmas, Teddy Bear Land, different birds and animals, santas, christmas decorations, disney stuff (like the wizard of oz, aladdin, jack and the beanstalk), and much more. It was so cool! Then we got to go to Wendy's for dinner! It was very yummy and we had a fun time. Scottie, do you still need that bobby pin???
Day 4, Wedenesday: Moma, Mallory, and I got to have lunch with Mrs. Diaddigo and Rebekah. It was our annual drink off.......who can drink the most Coke in the time we sat in McDonalds talking!
We had a fabulous time talking and it was so much fun to catch up with them learning what is going on in their lives. Rebekah is now dancing with the Atlanta Ballet and is able to be in their Nutcracker. So she gets to perform in the Fox Theater!!! Isn't that cool! I can remember my dad took me to the Nutcracker at the Fox when I was a little girl.......and now my friend is dancing there!!! Crazy! Not to brag or anything, but she also has 72 college credits! And she's only been taking classes since January!!! Way to go RKD!
Then I got to go with a group from our church to Cenntenial Park in Atlanta to go ice skating. But don't worry about us girls, we took 3 boys with us......to protect the 12 of us! It was a lot of fun! And I didn't even fall down! :) Then we went to eat a Taco Mac. I had so much fun hangning out with my friends and it was really good to be able to spend time with them. Thanks Kayla for organizing the event! :)
Day 5-6, Thursday: Then Mallory and I got to go to Aunt Amy and Uncle Alan's house to spend the night with AJ, Autumn, Abram, and Archer. We had so much fun playing with our cousins! We love hanging out with them and it was good to see baby Archer. I got to play chess with AJ. Let me tell you, he is really good!!!! And we had fun teaching them how to play Blink, a card game. Then we, the 5 of us, got to sleep in the same room. Mallory and I got the bunk beds and the 3 others got to sleep in sleeping bags on the floor. I was surprised that we even slept at all! Then we got to go to Uncle Alan's restaurant for breakfast. I got grits, bacon, and a raspberry sweet biscuit. It was so yummy!!! Then we went back home until Papa picked us up and took us to our next destination......our other cousins house!
We got to spend the night with Gabriel and Victoria on Day 6. We had so much fun talking and hanging out. We ate Mexican for dinner. It was delicious. Then we went to Kohls to buy boxers! We are starting a new tradition for the four of us.......buying a new pair of comfy sleep shorts every Christmas. I got a pair with smurfs, Gabriel got some with Dr. Suess, Victoria got a different pair of smurfs, and Mallory got some with footballs. Needless to say we were very excited! Then we went to Dairy Queen because Uncle Tuffy was craving ice cream. We all got cones, some dipped in chocolate and others not. Then we went home, watched Alvin and the Chipmunks, and went to sleep.
Day 7, Saturday: We started day 7 with breakfast at the Mountain Biscuit Cafe. Then we headed to Town Center Mall to hear Gabriel and Victoria play piano for their Christmas performance. We also got to see the A. Williams cousins again. Good job G & V! Y'all did really well.
Afterward I got to see my friend Lizzy. It was so much fun to see her, talk, and learn how her life is going. She is still doing swim team, finishing her senior year at Pope High School, dual enrolling at SPSU, and still enjoying some friend time. It was good to see her and we had fun driving around. We went to QT to get a frozen coke and then later split a peppermint milkshake. We even got to go see her old house. We had a great time!!!
That was the end of week 1. More to come........ =) We are thoroughly enjoying our trip in GA!!!!!
