more Christmas...

We spent the weekend at Phil's mom's house in Elkin. The girls had the best time and did not step foot outside of her house b/w 4pm Friday and 10am Sunday.
Friday evening we had a small celebration and dinner with Phil's brother, David, and his family. His Dad also came down also. Although his parents have been divorced for like 29 years or something, in recent years they have been pretty accomodating about holidays and hanging around each other. That makes it much more convenient for at least us and David's family because we used to have to have a seperate Christmas with him which usually made about 5 Christmas celebrations, one being with my family:) It was very nice.
Olivia (10) and Emma (5) are a lot of fun and the girls have a great time together.
Saturday Phil and I had planned to get out for a while. There is no way I could have sat around there all day. We thought we'd invite his mom also and have the whole family go, but they didn't want to so just Phil and I went and "shopped" in Elkin. That consisted of Belk, Hallmark, Bath and Body Works, Big Lots, and Wal-Mart, haha all in 2.5 hours. Which is fine. It's a nice little town.
Saturday night is whole extended family on his Mom's side came over. That is always a lot of fun. I think there were 28 people there. Lots of kids ages 3 to 14. Mollie's the youngest.

Sunday we came back home and unpacked and relaxed some!
Off to the beach we go on Tuesday!
