Spending time with family

We recently returned from a week-long visit to Georgia where we were able to spend time with several of our family members. While it was difficult trying to remember to pack everything that we would need for a week away from home, we managed to do so and had a very nice time. JD got to visit his Nana and Paw-Paw, his Gamma, his Uncle Stephen, his Aunt Amy, his cousins Trevor and Taylor, his Aunt G-G, his Uncle D, and his Aunt Mamie. Those were just the immediate family members that he saw! I won't bother listing all of the other people with whom we made sure to visit, but I can tell you that JD loved all of the attention. He also held up very well for taking such long trips in the car, but there were a couple of times when he reached his breaking point towards the end of the drive and we had to get very creative in trying to entertain him!

All in all, we had a very good time, and we celebrated an early Christmas with family while we were there. JD Sr, JD jr, and I will be spending Christmas at home in NC this year so that JD can experience waking up in his own bed on Christmas morning. He has loved having the Christmas tree in the living room these past couple of weeks, but I have had to stay on him constantly about removing ornaments from the tree. Now most of our ornaments have been moved to the top of the tree, so it looks a little funny, but what can you do? :^)
