Here's the deal. Our holiday season was hectic with my sister being pregnant, everyone having birthday's and Marie and I living in NC. So, my family decided to push back Christmas until they came to visit in February. Parker was even able to sport his favorite (and only) christmas outfit.
My mom, sister and her new baby boy Parker came to Charlotte on Tuesday evening. They made the drive from Indianapolis, which I am convinced is a very easy 10 hour drive (if there is such a thing). On Thursday evening, Ken (sister's husband) flew in as well. It was great seeing my family and getting to spend a lot of time with them. Since I moved, I only came back in town for weddings, work meetings, etc so it was good to not have anything else on my mind. I had the entire week off and we try to fill the time as best as we could.
We spent the days traveling around the area. We went to the Concord Mills (think giant mall) and downtown to the South Park Mall (think fancy mall). I was also able to show them around Birkdale Village. My mom also went on a lot of walks with Taylor exploring the surroundings, she was very happy with the area and liked it a lot.
When Ken came in town, he and I went to Bojangles for Lunch. My sister was under the weather and mad that she wasn't able to eat at this delicious blessing of a restaurant.
In the evening, Marie would come home from work and we would have dinner. We ordered out a few times and Marie made dinner a few times as well. Highlights of these meals included a Christmas brunch of waffles, breakfast casserole and sausage links. In addition, we had Christmas lasagna with mini cheesecakes. Marie once again made food more delicious and classy than my attacking style of eating deserves.
Sunday morning everyone got up and hit the road. It was great having them in town and we hope to see them again soon!
