Christmas Eve in Beaufort - Er... Port Royal, SC

we drove to adam's parents the night of the 22nd - they moved to port royal, sc and had just closed on their house like the week before. they have a great house and it looks like they have been there forever! we left our house around 7pm... aiden was out like a light in about 5 minutes and slept the whole way there! we arrived at about 12:30am - and aiden went right from the car to his pack-n-play and slept until the morning!

adam's parents had a little get-together for us and we saw a lot of people we haven't seen in a while - i met some new people - and aiden met A LOT of new people. it was a lot of fun!

the 23rd was also adam's birthday (31!) we went out to dinner - a little place called MoonDoggies
- it was really good - adam had a steak and i had crab cakes - DELISH!! there wasn't much else going on - so we drove around a little - got some ice cream and did some shopping.

christmas eve after we had our dinner of Maryland Fried Chicken (adam's choice - his favorite) we went for a nice long walk down to the sands...

our christmas family picture - at the sands in port royal

aiden and daddy on the walk

he looks like he's getting sleepy - doesn't he? don't let him fool ya - 5 minutes later he was acting all goofy and kicking his blanket off!

adam was enjoying playing with the camera

once we got back from our walk - it was time to open up presents - here is aiden opening up his first gift from grammy and poppy...

remember this guy from that magnet game - LOVE IT!

aiden enjoyed the paper most of all!

here is aiden opening up his big gift from grammy and poppy...

notice he's standing on his own

lil zoomers race track!

here he is playing with his shape sorter - he likes to take the shapes out of the bucket!

once all the gifts were opened - he decided it was time to take the ornaments off the tree...

and then he wanted to help daddy and poppy put together poppy's christmas gift

then go for a ride!

well it's time to get back on the road - but first some pictures in the santa suit!

we got back on the road around 6pm on christmas eve to head back to rome, ga - again aiden fell asleep pretty quickly - but he didn't sleep the whole way home - woke up about 30 minutes from home - but once he got in his own bed - he went back to sleep. aiden was a great traveler! he's getting better in the car! (although it probably helped that we traveled at night!) ;)
