Santa came for a quick visit!

We headed south yesterday to my mom's house (aka Nini and Pops) and rumor had it that Santa was having some sled troubles and was stopping in Aiken to have it checked out. So he decided to come by and drop off part of their Christmas early to lighten his sled....

This is like a 4-wheeler bike (I think it is made by Berg?)..Norah's is pink and white and is super cute! She loves it!!

She was a little hesitant of Santa at first...

She definitely did not want Daddy to leave her side....

But in the end...she was very excited to meet Santa and couldn't believe she got to see him before Christmas!! (A big thanks to Santa for coming by!!) :)

So today my sister and her two boys came and Santa had left them the same 4-wheelers in different colors! They rode around the back porch all morning!

We ate lots of super yummy foods and then loaded up to head back to Charlotte.

Oh yeah...Norah opened a few gifts too from her Aunt Erica and Aunt Susan/Uncle Bill and a couple from Nini and Pops...she loved that! Also...thanks Aunt Susan/Uncle Bill and Mom and Denny for the presents for Jeff and I...we love it! (I especially LOVE my bag for work!!! It is exactly what I would have picked....I was so surprised!!!)

My mom loaded us up with lots of leftovers that we ate when we got home and then settled in to enjoy the gifts we got so far and relax! Thank you so much Nini and Pops for hosting us and doing all you do! We enjoyed everything!
