Merry Christmas!!

This was our first Christmas together so we were really excited to celebrate together this year! We went to South Carolina and spent it with my family which was wonderful and way to short (its always too short). This trip was much more relaxing than the last time we were there. Their was no wedding to plan and we were able to just go with the flow and were actually able to go visit friends which was probably the best part!

One of my families traditions is to go to the Festival of Lights! I was so excited to take mike to this because he LOVES Christmas lights. (We took so many pictures that night but I only posted a few of our favorites- mostly because the pictures don't do it justice as most of the lights move)

These are a few of the lights you see as you drive through the park...its a few miles






Then you can get out and walk around for a while looking at more lights....

Their is also a sand sculpture every year and we took a few pictures of it. We think that its an under the sea theme.





It was wonderful to be able to continue this tradition with Mike! We had so much fun even though their were a million people there that night :)
