Jackson and Foley and Miami... Oh My!

Per usual we packed up the car and hit the road right after Christmas!  Thankfully, Morgan was back to normal so our first stop was Jackson.  We got to visit with Pop and bring him his presents.  Morgan loved Pop's bed and spent the whole time pushing the buttons to move it up and down!
Gaga, Macie, Morgan and Pop
 
After lunch we got back in the car and continued south to Foley.  Once we got there we had more presents and more food!  It was big fun and a great end to a long day.  The next day Rob, Marie and Erin came to visit!  Don't feel bad that Sara missed it- she was in France!  We spent the next few days getting to spend time with family we don't see often enough.  It was wonderful!  In fact, we had so much fun I really slacked on taking pictures.  Oops!
Bless Erin's heart.  She had two little shadows during her whole trip!
Hands down the best gift of Christmas was the snowball fight GG gave to Morgan.  The big kids had just as much fun as Morgan!
 
On Monday, Jeff and I headed out on our own adventure.  It was just the two of us, our car and the road to Miami!  Mom and Dad kept the girls and that gave me and Jeff four whole days alone!  Jeff and I both love a road trip so we made a pit stop in Orlando.  We were able to spend a whole day at Universal Studios and had a blast!  We were like little kids running around through Harry Potter World and everything else.  Even in the rain!  It was so much fun.  But eventually I had one too many 3-D rides and needed to lie down.  So I walked back to the hotel and Jeff finished some extra rides.  It really was so fun.
Harry Potter World!
Taking Hogwarts Express
Of course we had some Butterbeer
$10 poncho to stay (kinda) dry? Yep!
 
The next day we got dressed in our maroon and drove the rest of the way to Miami to cheer on our Dawgs!  Apparently we didn't cheer loud enough and we lost.  Badly.  But we were there at the Orange Bowl and had fun anyway!  Even when we rang in the New Year standing outside the stadium after the game.  We just pretended that the celebration fireworks for Georgia Tech were meant for us!

Ready to see our Dawgs!
Hail State!
We totally forgot our cowbells.  Thankfully Kathryn let us take hers!
Little Big Town was the halftime entertainment and I sang right along
These smiles are a bit forced at the end of the game
Worried the girls would be bored while we were having fun?  Fat chance!
 Two happy girls (and two happy parents) when we finally got home!
