We began on the farm with my family for Christmas Day and all of the events leading up to it, including a favorite family tradition: attending the Washington Chorus Concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.!
We enjoyed playing lots of games and spending time with Kelly and Amy Gough and Colin and Megan Kenny. I also helped Mom create the annual gingerbread tree.
On Christmas Day, after opening gifts in the morning, we went to my Nana and Pop-Pop's house for lunch and my aunt and uncle's house for dinner. It was great to see many family members that we had not seen in a long time!
After Christmas, we drove south to Greensboro to celebrate the holiday with Jonathan's immediate and extended family.
To ring in the New Year, we joined the "Newmillermans" up at the Millers' home in Blowing Rock, NC. Here, games and hikes abounded! We also enjoyed a Japanese steakhouse dinner on New Year's Eve and celebrated 2014 with fireworks and sparklers!
As our trip came to a close, we drove back up to MD to join Wade, Emily, Caroline, and Andrew on the farm for a few days. It was awesome to spend some time getting baby advice from them and playing with the niece and nephew who we always miss so much!
As they prepared to drive back to Roanoke, Caroline asked hopefully, "Is Uncle Jonathan coming with us, too?" We wish we could go home with Caroline, but for now, it's back to NM for a new semester!
