The Rest of Christmas, New Years and the Chick-fil-A bowl

On the 27th we made a trip back to SC for the Bowen family Christmas with all of the extended family. We had a great time and enjoyed spending time with everyone. Then on New Years Eve we attended the House Divided Chick-fil-A bowl. Brandon's mom, dad and Grandmother came for the game so I was outnumbered by Clemson fans until we met up with my family. My mom volunteered to keep Ava so that I could go to the game and I'm glad that I did. War Eagle! We decided to take Marta from Perimeter Mall. Big mistake, at least on the way home. After a close Auburn win, we ended up waiting to get on train until well after midnight. Isn't it romantic, we spent New Years Eve with 30,000 other people in line for Marta. At least we could see the fireworks from Centennial Park. Once we got on Marta it took us about 2 1/2 hours to finally get home. Never again!! From now on I will always drive and park. We had awesome seats on the lower level 10 yard line, Auburn end zone, 1 section away from the band. It made up for not being able to go to any games this season. Now that the holidays are over I am looking forward to a more normal schedule and being able to slow down just a little, though I know it won't last long. Ava started crawling several weeks ago but has really taken off so she is keeping me very busy. I will have to make a new video of her on the go. I hope you are all well and look forward to hearing from you soon!
