Celebrating a New Year with Kennedy

It was the in-laws year for Christmas this time, so John and I drove down to Charleston the following weekend. We decided that the day we arrived would be our Christmas and the next day New Year's Eve. (Which it really was.)

Kennedy was napping when we arrived, giving us a chance to unpack, get settled and play one of our favorite games; Catch Phrase. Boys against Girls. (And girls almost always win!)

As soon as she woke up we opened presents, then because the weather was so nice and supposed to turn much colder for the rest of the week we headed to their local playground for a bit.

Then Christmas dinner!!
Sunday after church the guys went to see Star Wars while the girls put together a gingerbread house.
That night the adults went downtown Charleston for a New Year's Eve dinner.

I can never remember if we're supposed to end the year with the people we love most, or begin the new year with the people we want to be with the most in the upcoming year. But, either way - we've got it covered! Happy 2018!
