Keeping up with my 3+ month delay on blogposts, I bring you Christmas 2014. I have had a few ongoing projects that have kept me busy but now that I am done, I will hopefully get caught up. I have so many pictures to share of the last few months including Caroline's 1st Birthday and I just can't wait to get those up! My engineer brain can't skip around so we are going to keep going in chronological order.
With this being Caroline's first Christmas, we wanted to start some of our own little family traditions. One thing that was important to us was to be able to do a Christmas morning at our house. Since Caroline wouldn't realize if it was actually December 25th or not, we did it a few days early so that we could make the drive to GA/SC to spend some time with our families.
First we drove to Derek's parent's house where we had lunch with a good friend, visited the lights at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, and took a trip to The Children's Museum of Atlanta. We certainly kept ourselves busy and enjoyed our short stay in Atlanta.
On Christmas day we drove to Spartanburg to have Christmas with my whole family at my oldest brother's house. Unfortunately I didn't really take any pictures. The following day, we drove to Columbia to spend some time with Caroline's godparents, Katie and Adam, before driving to Aiken to stay with my parents for a couple nights. After that we drove all the way back to Louisiana. It was a whole lot of driving for one week but we are glad we got to spend the holidays with our families this year!

| Playing with the kinetic sand. Paci was necessary so she wouldn't stick it in her mouth. |
 |
| I think Derek may have enjoyed the Museum more than she did. |
