Final weeks in NC

Our final weeks in NC were wonderful and thanks to internet that we literally got 2 hours ago I can finally share it with all of my 2 readers in the blogger world.  We moved back to GA on the 22nd so we packed as much as we could into our final weeks.  Here's a glimpse at what we were up to.  

Our neighboring city, Dillsboro, had a Christmas festival the first two weekends in December so we ventured out there to enjoy the festivities.  All of the stores in town were open and many had cookies and treats as well as a few freebies for the holidays.  Everything was decorated with lights and luminaries and we had a great time.  Because it was too dark and I don't have a fancy camera I was only able to get a few shots.  One of my favorites is this one of the kids looking at the manger scene.  

We have spent every opportunity in NC exploring our surroundings.   We went and saw these last two waterfalls before we left.  The picture above does not do any justice for the view.  If you look closely in the bottom picture you'll see Aaron and the kids behind the waterfall.  The kids thought it was so cool that you could walk behind it.

The children at church put on a play for us one Wednesday night.  They had practiced at the birthday party for Jesus, but because we had all been sick the week before we weren't able to the party with Levi so we had no idea that Levi was a wiseman.  So we were super excited when we saw him walk out all dressed up. Before they started the little boy who was supposed to be the sheep got tired of waiting for them to start and decided to quit before it got started so they quickly asked in Naomi would step in a sure enough she was up for it.  I could barely handle the cuteness of it all.  While on stage they insisted on being together and when someone would move Levi, Naomi would follow.  He was the protective big brother, holding her hand and constantly kissing her throughout the performance.  I loved every minute of it.

I know this one is a little grainy, but Aaron took it from his phone and it has to be my favorite of them all.

Our final weekend we went to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville.  The kids were spending the weekend with my parents so it was the perfect time for us to go.  The highlight of the trip was that we were able to go during the Christmas season and the entire place was decorated for Christmas.  The house was beautiful as well as the grounds.  We walked and walked and walked some more around the property.  My feet were killing me when we left at the end of the day.  The property was amazing and beautiful and you could see for miles.  Aaron & I had a great time and it was the perfect way to end our stay in NC.

 

Last but not least the Sylva square.   It was beautifully decorated for the holidays and I tried capturing it with my point and click camera, but it doesn't it do it justice so just take my word for it.  I promise it was beautiful.

We are now back in GA.  Celebrated Christmas with our families, visited TX with Aaron's family, celebrated Naomi's birthday, and have been unpacking ever since.  There is still lots of update post to come and one day soon I'll be caught up.
