December comes but once a year

Finally, it was time to leave this crap hole and head up north for some much needed time with family. First was the 12 hour drive to TN with two dogs who kept us up ALL NIGHT AND MORNING before the drive. NOT FUN!! But we got there safe and sound and with under $30 in gas :D

We got to relax Friday and recover some from the drive. Only to take off Saturday evening headed to NC. I had to make time for Papa and Grandma, and it was SO WORTH IT!! At least we got to leave the pups in TN, so it limited our need for breaks.

We went to church with Papa and Grandma as well as spent some time with them before heading over to Aarons' sister, Andreas', home for the night. It was great to see Andrea and the family after so long. The girls are just TOO ADORABLE!!! We enjoyed a good nights sleep on a bed and then said goodbye. We went back to Papa and Grandmas house to say our final goodbyes and take some much wanted pictures.

Then it was off once again to TN.
