NC


This year we went to Duck, North Carolina for Thanksgiving. My friend Serena and I drove down Sunday night with her two girls and Sierra. Eric and Chris drove down Tuesday night. It was so much fun! We were right by the beach and even though it was pretty cold it was so beautiful! There were 3 other couples up there with us who also stayed in the house. We went to the aquarium, shopped at lots of cute stores, played games, went in the hot tub, and lots of other fun things.
My birthday was on Friday so we celebrated with shopping, dinner at outback and ice cream cake!
It's always so nice to get away for a while. Thanks everyone who was up there for making it such a fun week and enjoyable trip!
Playing Rock Band-SO FUN!
At Sonic-yummy cream slushes!

What a perfect week! Seriously it doesn't get much better then a house on the beach with friends and shopping! I absolutly love the picture of you and Eric that the little 4 year old took, you both look so happy and in love. The picture of you with your sonic drink is so pretty too, you have gorgeous eyes Hilary! And my goodness Sierra is getting big since the last picture I saw of her, I love her little outfit all bundled up on the beach. Oh and that is very interesting art work to get to look at while you eat =)We want to have you guys and the Atkinson's over for dinner soon, let us know when would be good, Thanks!

I forgot to tell you HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

you don't have to bring cookies...only if you want to take some of other people's home, a cookie for a cookie ..I guess. I had forgotten about it too, and I'm not sure if I'm going yet. Shawn is sick and I hate to leave Victoria with him for very long...so we'll see
