Ashville (and more!)

What an AMAZING two weeks off! Even though I was super stressed trying to get everything done before I left, the family time was the greatest gift! After rounding out and amazing Christmas,we had a little time at home before we left on our trip. We celebrated Elise's 1st birthday and spent a little time at the zoo (in the freezing cold!) Then we (and both grandmas) began our journey on New Year's Day to Ashville. We hit the road at 5am (thinking EC would go back to sleep...she didn't). It was an amazing trip. Our house was perfect, EC was great on the drive, we had tons of fun, we got to visit with friends, pretty much the most amazing trip. Even though EC and I were a little under the weather with colds, we had a great time just laying low at the house and exploring a bit of downtown. I'll let the pics below do the rest of the talking. I think we may be starting a New Year's tradition!

 Happy Birthday Elise!

 Biggest hit of the house in Ashville? The HUGE bathtub!
