A North Carolina kind of Christmas!

Christmas in Chapel Hill North Carolina was wonderful! Watching the kids hang with their cousins and having Christmas together was a great time as always.
 
 
Hanging out at Pop and Gran's! Lucy, Katrina, Anna, Sadie, Audrey and Miles up top!
The weather was so great on Christmas Day- Before dinner and gifts, the kids got to run around outside on the golf course which they love to do!

Dishing out Christmas Dinner!

Time for gifts!

Watching the kids together on Christmas was so fun. They all enjoy each other so much and we all had such a nice time!

My friend Lesley lives in Durham NC and came to visit us for Christmas dinner! We have been friends since 6th grade; she was at our wedding and having her as an addition to our Christmas was wonderful

Pop and Gran's beautiful home- we love going there

Gran's beautiful Mantel- Look Closely...Red Sox of course!

Welcome to Jay and Mary Ann's!

We went to Sean and Karie's for dinner one night and all the cousins had a sleep over there! They had a ball....The Daley's have a new addition! Mickey is their new dog and he is adorable! Him and Lola are great Daley dogs! What cuties!!

The kids loved visiting Uncle Sean's work! ABC NEWS station in Durham NC was a great activity for us. He gave us a tour and we all got our chance to be a star at the news station!
