Merry Christmas 2011- The Southern Version

A few days after Christmas, we loaded up the car and headed down south to Georgia. After our last trip down there, we got smarter and booked a hotel in Asheville, NC in order to break up the trip. Oliver enjoyed riding around on the luggage cart!



Of course, when we finally got in town, there were more presents awaiting Oliver!







I think he really loves his Uncle Noah...





Since the weather was so nice, we got to spend a lot of time outside. We went to two different parks and took several walks!







Oliver did NOT love the swing.



He did really enjoy rocking on the airplane and four-wheeler, though...go figure...



Uncle Brock even took a ride with him...







What's Christmas without a little gunfight?







He loved the slide!





One night, we went to Lights of the South. It was amazing! Tons of light displays and fun things for the kiddos to do!



















Oliver was loving it!







Unfortunately, Oliver decided he wasn't going to begin crawling until the day AFTER we left Nini and PawPaw's house so he basically just rolled around happily on the floor.





Getting ready to leave :(







Clearly, Brock was sad to see us go...



Oliver and Ginger became fast friends (although I think Ginger was a little jealous at all the attention Oliver was getting from his people)...



And because I'm an evil big sister, here is a LOVELY picture I snapped of Noah before we left (in his defense, we did leave early, thus waking him early from his much-needed beauty sleep)...



Thank you Dad, Penny, Noah and Brock for a great trip! We had a wonderful time and can't wait to see you all again soon!
