Holiday Fun

I just got back from our little family get together in North Carolina. We recently had some of our favorite cousins move down there to join our other cousins in what I guess is a very livable community. It is really quite toned down compared to the regular hustle and bustle of the Dc balt. Area.  Any how we got to stay with both of them in their new homes. Very cool to see that they are both doing well. The area is under a lot of new development, but there is a lot of character left in the little towns surrounding Charlotte. I only wish we had more time because I didn't get to see much of it outside of a car window. We did have a blast with them however even if our trip was cut short by a outbreak of the stomach virus from hell. lol When we arrived only one of our family members had contracted it from who knows where and was already getting over it so we figured we were in the clear. WRONG! by the end of thursday night. 7 other people had got it and so we figured there was no point it staying there sick so we made the 7 hour drive back home. Any how I got some fun stuff before we left even got a chance to take some self family portraits with the timer and a tripod. My sister surprised my mom and showed up from texas for a couple of days. Take a look seeeeee!
