Chirstmas-time in North Carolina

So we loaded up the whole fam and headed east for the holidays. To Nana & Poppie's house we went! We left just before Christmas and were gone for 2 weeks. It was a true vacation! We did a whole lot of the good stuff, like eating, sleeping, going to movies (I think there was 4 in all), hitting Frankee's-the indoor arcade/ride place--going to the museum, playing with all of our fabulous Christmas gifts, LOTS of card playing for the adults, LOTS of DS playing for the kids, and just having a really great time!! Oh, and Alora learned how to sit up while there and cut her very first tooth!
