Christmas in Carolina

 First Christmas in Charleston for the Chins.  It was a success and a memorable one.  I am happy the four of us were able to be together.  There was no way were going to leave Caz alone on Christmas Day. 

It was certainly a different kind of Christmas.  We didn't cook.  We ordered BBQ.  We feasted on brisket, smoked chicken and pulled pork, with mac & cheese, tater tots, baked beans and cornbread.  There was an amazing pecan pie.  A Southern classic for sure.  There were also some seasonally appropriate dark beers too.

The video camera was running Christmas morning.  The boys actually got up at a decent hour.  Of course I had been up for hours but that is par for the course for me.  I got in a few hours on the Christmas puzzle and watched Christmas Chronicles 2.

When the boys went back to bed to nap, Demi and I explored more of the area.  We drove to Folly to see the Morris Lighthouse.  What a view!  The beach was cool.  Driftwood lay strewn across it. Trees buried in the sand, stuck out willy nilly.  It was warm and sunny.  The wind blew a bit but what a nice day.

A great Christmas Day for the Chin.
