Asheville Holiday Trip

Sheesh, where to start.  Well, we were happy to arrive in Asheville after 15 hours of travel without any incident...most especially without an oil leak (note previous trip here.)

We had another Christmas on Christmas morning (see previous post) with the Levine family for Brie.  She received an awesome rocker that has been in their family for many generations...Naomi and her brother had it when they were little and it was passed around the Goldberg family and then Mat and Sara used it when they were wee kiddos and now Brie gets to use it.  And she loves it, she can even get into it herself.  We are still working on having her sit in it and not stand in it.  I think some pain might be in her future from that learning experience, but we are trying to have her just "sit" in it and rock.  Then we had a lovely turkey dinner that Naomi prepared.






Mat was able to get out on a few bike rides and Brie and I visited with bunches of friends.  I wasn't so great at taking photos of all the people we saw, mostly enjoyed the visiting.  But we got out for a walk with her friend, Ava, who was born 2 days before Brie was.  We went on a few walks with friends, it was really nice weather and a great way to visit.  :-)

Mat also helped his dad install barn doors that would slide on the barn.



Then we celebrated New Year's Eve at Sara's new place high above Asheville.  So we had a terrific view of all the fireworks that went off around Asheville at midnight.  It was amazing!  Wish I had a picture to share, but wasn't thinking about that, we were just enjoying the show.  Brie did not make it to midnight, but she had fun until about 10 or so.  (I didn't make Brie go to bed by 7 while on vacation!  And she only had a few meltdowns for me.  Thankfully, she was a perfect and happy child for everyone else.)


Our last night in town, we had dinner with everyone.  Here's a shot of us after a very lovely flounder and salad dinner.  It was a great visit!
