Christmas in North Carolina

After Christmas Day in Cleveland, we met up with Heidi's brother, Daryl, whose in-laws are in Cleveland, too, and made a mini-caravan to North Carolina. Isaac got to meet three more cousins for the first time - Pandora, Boone, and Della Scott. Both sides of the family combined, Isaac has five (soon to be six) first cousins all within three years of each other. Something tells us there are lots of fun days ahead with all of those cousins! And if you count second cousins, he's got somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty. WEE!!!

We spent several days with Granddad and Gran in Salisbury, NC (and some aunts, uncles, and cousins) and just today drove over to Cary, NC to spend two nights with Heidi's Aunt Mary Ann. We'll be taking Isaac to his first North Carolina basketball game tonight. Yes, he has a little Tarheel outfit to wear.

Below are some pics - three from NC and two leftovers from Michigan/Ohio.

The first is from his baptism with his cousin, Isabella (and Aunt Catherine and Uncle Joe).

The second is with his cousin, Pandora.

Third is one we couldn't resist. It's Christmas time and mangers are running all amok. That's Cousin Sophia in the back.

Fourth is swinging on Granddad's porch, and last is Isaac working on his first Cheerwine (a soda bottled in Heidi's hometown of Salisbury) in Graddad's "Man Room".
