Christmas in Atlanta

This year we are starting what we hope will become a tradition!  The day after Christmas we drove to Atlanta and we had a Kesler Family "reunion" with our family and my dad's sister's family at my cousin, Kim's house!  We haven't all been together since my wedding!!!!  That was over 11 years ago!  It was so much fun to see everyone and we all enjoyed every minute of it!  The kids got along so well despite the age and gender differences!  

The girls

The boys

All the adults with Joey's new selfie stick:)  It was hysterical!!


Sweet cousins all dressed up!

But it wasn't long before they were dressed in more of
their everyday! 
Must be genetic!!

After we left Kim's house, we went to Uncle Bobby's new house!  This was our first time getting to see it and it is so nice!!!  We did some more present opening there as well!:)






We've been car shopping for a few months now, but knew that Atlanta had a much better selection than Greenville does.  We got down to Atlanta early, before going to Kim's house, and checked out a couple of dealerships that had some cars we were interested in.  We didn't make any decisions before lunch at Kim's, but M negotiated while we were there for lunch and we bought a car that we went and picked up after leaving Uncle Bobby's house!  It was a very long day and we were out late, but we came away with a new car so it was worth it!:)

This set up was a life saver at 8pm when the kids are completely
exhausted!  M and I reclined on the leather couches there and watched
football on the big screen while we waited - it was actually pretty
relaxing:)  We are apparently not the only one's that were car
shopping the day after Christmas - the dealerships were packed!!!

Sunday morning we spent some time hanging out at Grandpa and Gigi's house!!

The bridesmaid dress I wore in my cousin Kim's wedding:)
Probably about 14 years ago!

All while C made himself a fort and was shooting!
We left Grandpa and Gigi's and met M's cousin Elizabeth and her family at a play place for a couple of hours!  They are not able to come to Christmas lunch anymore because it is just too much with two little ones.  So, we were glad for the chance to see them even if it was a few days after Christmas!
