Visiting Gigi in her new place

The girls loved getting to go see where Great-Grandmother Mary B. (now called Gigi) lives! She had a wagon for the girls to get towed around in, a Santa to see, and even an elevator!

And, on Christmas day, with our Gigi!

On the second day of Christmas....

We rode the PINK PIG! A Christmas tradition from when Carol (Mimi) was a child in Atlanta - the original train used to hang from ceiling in Rich's (you can see it in the background - I wonder why they stopped using it!?!). The girls were so serious the whole ride and then, when it was time to get off, Caroline kept yelling, "Again!" They haven't stopped talking about the Pink Pig Choo Choo Train! And, my good friend from Oak Ridge, Leah, came to meet us with her baby, Mazie Ruth, who the girls loved!

so focused!


AGAIN!

Look, Caroline can crawl, too!

Making Mazie Ruth laugh!

On the First Day of Christmas....

We made it to Atlanta and started playing with Mimi and Papa immediately! We visited Mimi's kindergarteners and even brought some toys of theirs home with us to play with. We took a trip to the Georgia Aquarium, which was AWESOME (but, I forgot the camera) and the girls are still talking about the fish and wa-doo. And, of course, we went to the playground a lot!

Macie decided that the green car was hers and didn't like sharing it with ANYONE!

In the play tent with Mimi!

Playing with Aunt Melissa baby strollers (from when she was a baby!) and taking the bows off presents under the tree in order to wear them and become BOW HEADS!

Getting ready

Caroline pretending to be Fanta (Santa), saying Ho HO HOOOO! She's going to bring you some TOYS!

And, our decorated tree!

While mom and dad are away, the girls will PLAY!

What Macie and Caroline did in Bellingham without us - looks like they really missed their parents, huh?

Mom and Dad in Whistler! ***Warning - no cute babies in this set....

Well, we dropped the girls off in Bellingham and headed up to Whistler for 3 whole days to celebrate our 5th anniversary! It was awesome!!!! Here are some pictures of us skiing, the preparations for the Olympics, and the gorgeous views....

The Peak to Peak Gondola - it was pretty scary!

Eating lunch in our room, since it was 2minutes from the lifts!

Our view, overlooking the village

Anniversary Dinner! I wonder what the girls are doing right now? :)

Somebody's got the giggles

Tickling babies while video-taping is tough, but I just couldn't resist with Macie laughing like that!
