Christmas in Georgia

This year was a Chase Christmas and we spent it at Dan's sister Liz's home in Atlanta. We had a wonderful time and have lots of pictures to show you all the events :)

It started with my parents coming to our home to stay while we were gone. They spent Christmas with Mandy's family. It was good too see them before we headed out. They gave me the best Christmas present ever, fixing things around our house while we were gone. It was wonderful to come home to a clean house with all sorts of odds and ends done. They are amazing. They also gave Dallas his first present.


We headed to the airport where we met up with Ben. It was great to have him flying with us. He was a HUGE help with Dallas.

The first leg of the trip was a short flight to Denver where we had a three hour layover. Dallas had a hard time and fussed the whole time, right until we touched down and he fell asleep. We then had our flight to Atlanta. We were suppose to leave at 7:20pm and arrive at 11:45pm. (We lose 2 hours). We were all loaded up on the plan... then sat. Then the plane needed to be de-iced. Then de-iced again and then we sat and sat some more. Finally, around 9:30pm we took off with us landing around 1:24am. It was crazy. Luckily Dallas slept almost the whole time.

Hanging out in the Denver Airport.
By Thursday night everyone who was coming was there (The Workmans, Zach, Annie and Family, Londa, and us.) Friday we went to Stone Mountain. It was a beautifully day for a hike and we had a great time.

Dallas pooped out from the long walk :) I love it when he sleep with his mouth open.
Christmas Day was amazing. I was up before everyone with Dallas so I took some pictures of him with the tree and all the presents.

Here Dallas is with his cousin Sidon who is 2 months younger than Dallas. I couldn't believe how much Dallas has grown and changed in just two months. Also, Dallas was NEVER alone. With 23 other people around someone was always holding him or playing with him. It was so cute to see everyone with him, but I fear he isn't liking being home where he isn't being paid attention to every second of the day.


The last day we were there we went to the World of Coke then ate at The Varsity (a place Dan had seen on the travel channel). It was fun to go into the city and be a tourist.


It was a wonderful trip. Everything was perfect and we were so sad to leave. The Maycocks were amazing to put up with all of us for so long. Dallas was a champ and slept from the time we put him in the car to drive to the airport to the time we stepped into our house. Once he woke up he had some awesome bed head :)
We had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you did you too!
