The head basketball coach who Jeff works with, Larry Brown, married his wife Philippa on New Year's Eve in Charlotte, N.C. We had never been to Charlotte before, so we thought it would be fun to go. We have some friends who moved there recently and they were so nice to let us stay at their house while they were in Washington, D.C. Thanks so much Rachel and Chad!! We totally owe you guys!
We got to their adorable house, which was about 7 minutes from the hotel with like 20 minutes to spare before the wedding. Our plan was to quickly go in and change and then hustle to the wedding and hopefully make it on time. Well, when we got in the house Berkeley decided to scream at the top of her lungs for 45 minutes straight! After about 10 minutes of screaming and rejecting the boob (I have never had a baby do that before!) I told Jeff to go ahead and go with Cheyenne to the wedding and then come back and get Berkeley and I for the reception. So, sadly, I missed the wedding, but thankfully Berkeley decided to stop crying and fall asleep after 45 minutes (it could have been worse, right?).
We all went to the reception and it was so much fun! They had a delicious dinner and a big dance floor which Cheyenne LOVED. She and the other little kids were having a blast together. They brought out New Year's hats and the adults started dancing around 10:30/11 ish, but we had to head home to put the kids to bed.
Rachel and Chad have two little girls too, so they had this adorable "big girl bed" (as we call it) and a crib in the room right next to theirs so it was so perfect. The big girl bed was even equipped with a Dora blanket and they had a giant Dora doll, so Cheyenne was pretty much in heaven and both girls went right to sleep. We waited for the clock to hit midnight and gave each other a "New Year's kiss" and fell right asleep! The next day we explored Charlotte which kind of looked like a ghost town since it was about 10 am on New Year's Day. We tried to go to the Imaginon Children's museum (which is free), but it was closed because it was New Year's Day. Jeff was really excited to see the Bank of America Stadium where the Carolina Panthers play. It was a fun trip and we are really glad we went:)
Cheyenne swing dancing with a little boy, haha, or I think he was dragging her around, but it looks like swing dancing:
