North Carolina - White Christmas 2010

Heather and Adam's Wedding

April 10, 2010 was Heather and Adam's wedding day. Brian and I flew back to Asheville, NC for the weekend to take part in the festivities. As with any wedding, it would be impossible to do a recap of all of the pictures on a blog post. There are lots more pictures for your viewing pleasure:

Snowy Blue Ridge Mountains!

On Monday, December 28th, it was time for us to head back to Kansas. Although it was sad to say our goodbyes to our family and friends, seeing snow-covered mountains always has a way of lifting spirits!

Mountain Breakfast ala Kenny

The Sunday after Christmas, Brian's dad, Kenny, got up early and made a country breakfast with all the trimmings: eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, biscuits, gravy, etc. Needless to say, we all stuffed ourselves!

Christmas Dinner!

Because we ended up getting so busy on Christmas Day, Madre decided to prepare Christmas dinner the day after Christmas. Prime Rib, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, and rolls were still good a day later. We all devoured some cow, quite happily!

Christmas with Beverly and Jared!

The day after Christmas, we stopped by Beverly and Jared's house. One of the highlights of the holiday season is the abundance of sweet goodies at everyone's house. Beverly's was no different, so we settled in for a warm cup of Joe and a slice of rum cake!

Christmas at Madre and Padre's - Part II

Since Brian was feeling sick Christmas morning, we went back to Madre and Padre's house Christmas evening to finish exchanging gifts. Thank goodness Brian was feeling a lot better and could enjoy himself!

Christmas with Kenny, Jan, & Brynna!

After I finished up with all of the holiday festivities in Barnardsville, Brian and I went to his parents house for a little Christmas cheer!

Christmas in Barnardsville, NC!

For Christmas Day, Brian was feeling a little under the weather, so he held the fort down at home, resting in the bed. After I made sure he was good and Pepto-Bismol-ed up, Madre, Padre, and I left for Barnardsville, NC to see Grandpa and the rest of the Creegan family. All in all, it was a good day on the farm!
