A Sandy Christmas

With the help of the "Adopt a Nobmann" fund :) and a strong desire for family, beach, and a good time, we had the priviledge of spending Christmas this year on the beach of North Carolina...Pine Knoll Shores to be exact.  Rain was in the forecast everyday, yet the only day we saw a drop was on the day that we left for home (which made it a little easier to leave).  It was perfect weather.  Sunny and blue skies, just the way I like it.  It was so good that the boys (and kiwi girls) got in the ocean and swam--multiple times!

 The house we stayed in fit nearly the whole crew, which makes for good times 24 hours a day.  The kids had a blast playing with their cousins and getting loved on by their aunts, uncles, and grandparents.

We played, made goodies, and relaxed--listening to the sound of crashing waves the majority of our visit.  We loved every minute and from the moment we got there, I thought it'd be a great place to live.  The sand and salty air does that to me.

So from now until forever (maybe it won't be a dream that long), I'll be dreaming of a sandy Christmas once again.
