The end of 2011 - part II

For Christmas we drove down to North Carolina to grandma and grandpa's house. Surprisingly, it was really warm and at times, humid on our drive. Uncle Duncan, Aunt Tina, and Tina's mom Ronnie, joined us for Christmas. We had lots of fun playing, opening gifts, eating and just hanging out.

Who needs GPS?

Right after napping, I was put to work. I thought I was suppose to relax!

Went to visit a house that decorates their home for the holidays. That's a line of cars waiting to enter the driveway!

We spent the day with Tony, Heather and Simon. Tony and papa knew each other during college and lived together in San Francisco. Simon and I are a month apart, so naturally, we had a blast running and goofing around.

Every year after christmas grandpa goes golfing with his buddies in Myrtle Beach. We joined him and stayed by the beach for some R+R and to watch the sunrise and sunset, and of course to play in the pool.

I accidentally threw my toy car over the balcony. But papa eventually was able to find it!

Went to grandma and grandpa's church for New year's eve service. Donna showed me how to play the beanbag toss game.

Then, on January 1, 2012, I got baptized at grandma and grandpa's church by Pastor Valerie.

But let's rewind the morning of the baptism. That's grandpa bringing me back after I ran away. I bolted all the way to the neighbor's house!
