Emma Kate’s first long road trip was the 4 hour drive to Grandma and Grandpa Kirkland’s house for Christmas. We had planned to leave on Friday afternoon. At about 9PM, when the car was almost packed, we decided it would be better just to go ahead and sleep one more night in Georgia and drive Saturday morning. Emma Kate slept for about 3 hours of the trip. She was the perfect little rider. I knew how long the trip could be if she wasn’t asleep or happy for most of it, so I was extremely grateful when we arrived without any crying at all!

After we got there, we opened gifts with my sister (Dee), her husband (J.), their son (Addison), their daughter (Madeline), my brother (Jay), his wife (Donette), and their son (Jadon). Here’s a pictorial account of the 2 days in South Carolina.
