Christmas afternoon, we headed to Nana & Poppa's. Uncle Matt was there. We had a wonderful time watching Ashlyn play. We had dinner & spent the night. The next morning we would head to Atlanta to see Poppa's family.
"Prize, Prize, Prize!!!"
Ash and I wrote Santa a letter explaining that we would be at Mimi's house on Christmas morning, but that we would like it if we could wait on Daddy to come home before we really celebrate. Santa must have known how important this was to both of us, as he only left a couple of toys at Mimi's. It was perfect!
Walking baby...for HOURS!!!
"You need help Poppa? I can do it faster!!!"
Opening a present with Mimi...Ash kept screaming "It is, It is!"
Mimi made a wonderful breakfast for us on Christmas morning. 
As you know, Rick was headed to Spain with the Air Force on the 23rd, so, that left Ash & I to celebrate the holidays alone....HaHa We were far from alone! We decided to surround ourselves with family, and make the best of the situation. We packed our bags & headed out early Christmas Eve. Our final destination for the evening would be Edisto, which is only an hour and 15 minutes away. Who ever knew that we had so many people that we could stop and visit along the way!!! It took the entire day & we made our last stop at Uncle David & Aunt Shelby's. They host a drop in every year, but I have not made it there in many years...did I just admit that? Anyway, it was a ton of fun. Ash found a third generation rocking horse & could not get enough of it. She also had the chance to meet many of my Dad's cousins for the first time. 
After visiting with everyone, we headed to Mimi and Poppa's to get some much needed sleep! Lauren and Mama were there, too, which made it a very special night.
