carolina christmas

after a LONG drive yesterday, i'm back in indiana! i had the pleasure of celebrating Christ's birth with 18 of my family members. this was the first time we'd all celebrated Christmas together - ever! my family drove down to south carolina and stayed at my aunt's, along with my grandparents, and my uncle's family who flew in from Guam. it was a full house, but also full of love. 
the day after Christmas we all trekked to Bald Rock Mountain and a triple waterfall. i was eager to use my new lens santa so graciously brought me the previous day, and my sisters are always willing to be models. here are a few shots of my beautiful sisters and the gorgeous view.
