"Stick City" (Atlanta)

After Christmas, we took a day off before we were on the road again to Atlanta for a mini Christmas #3 with Brent's family. It was nice to see his mom and dad, both of his brothers, and their families too. (We missed you, Kayla!) Callie and Wyatt loved being able to play with their cousins for a little while. Brent's precious grandpa was there too.

Of course, we had to go to IKEA before checking into our hotel and crashing for the night. It turned out to be a milestone night for Poodie too. It was the first night he ever slept on a big boy bed all by himself! Technically, it was just a pull-out chair but it worked out perfect because the arms of the chair worked like guard rails. I also threw tons of pillows on the floor just incase he rolled off but he slept like a champ and did such a great job!

In the morning, we headed out early to the Pink Pig at Lenox and got a chance to shop a little bit after that. For lunch, we stopped at our old favorite Vietnamese hole-in-the-wall joint before heading out to do a little bit of househunting. (With Brent being gone so much, moving back to the dirty is always a possibility for us.)

The best part of our day though was getting to catch up with Caroline and Christine and all of their babies. Sadly, I didn't even take a single picture while we were there. All the nuggets were so cute though and I just couldn't get over how grown up Frances and Ansley seemed. It was ridiculous! We didn't stay too long before hitting the road again off to Greenville.
