On the fourth day of Christmas...

After leaving Nannie and Big Pop's house, we began heading south toward Florida. We had planned a stop in Charlotte at Aunt Melanie and Uncle Patrick's house for a Christmas celebration with them and an overnight stop to break up our trip. We love spending time with the Strains and wish they lived closer!

Morgan and Aunt Melly (how Morgan pronounces Melanie) making sugar cookies...YUM!

And on the fourth day of Christmas, the Strains brought to Morgan...

A roaring Rex from Toy Story 3! She had asked for one, and Aunt Melanie went WAY out of her way to make sure Morgan got one.

A twilight lady bug. Morgan was totally over the moon. She loves Ethan's twilight turtle, and is so happy to have one of her own. She named her lady bug Tara, and spent all night shining the stars and moon on the ceiling (and occasionally in Mama's eye!).

New Scooby Doo movies, which she promptly watched and still enjoyed today on the last leg of our trip.

and a few coloring books, including this Scooby Doo one.

Morgan had a wonderful visit with her Aunt Melly and Uncle Patrick. She visited all of their kitties, giving toys and food to each. It's always way too short of a trip, but we are looking forward to seeing them again at the end of this month when we head back home.
