We headed back to Dallas a few days after Christmas to celebrate with Brian's family. We had a great lunch, exchanged gifts, and climbed in the car to begin our drive to Atlanta. Brian's dad's side of the family lives there and they try to make a trip up to visit as often as possible. Scott and Adrian decided to fly because Jackson, being a year and a half, would not enjoy the 13 hour drive. It was fun watching almost the entire first season of the show Community. (If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it. The show is hilarious!)
Brian, David, and I stayed at Aunt Linda's house. We had fun hanging out with our cousins (Daniel, Andrew, and Michael) and playing their new XBox Kinect. It was so much fun battling on the dance game and playing all of the adventure games. We spent many hours in the "man cave" as they call it. Every time Brian's family goes to Atlanta they have a big game of ultimate frisbee. The last time I went up to Atlanta with Brian's family (the month before we got engaged) we played in very cold weather. This year was much warmer and therefore more enjoyable :). The boys get pretty competitive and the girls run around the middle of the field so we dont get in the way. Here is a picture of us after our game in 2008.
I wish I had more pictures to add to this post but our camera was dead and we didnt pack the charger. Just imagine all of us looking 3 years older.
They also have a tradition of a white elephant gift exchange. This year I was the lucky winner of a box of live mice. Thanks boys! That is what happens when you have a lot of boy cousins. The adults weren't to happy and quickly released them into the backyard. We had a great time hanging out with everyone and look forward to making it back to Atlanta soon!
