Most of the family got together in South Carolina to celebrate two big events - Christmas and Jimmy's 50th birthday. We stayed at Ocean Lakes, just south of Myrtle Beach. Although it was too cold for swimming (except for Jane Marie and Kyle who made an early Polar Bear Club dip), everyone made their own fun. We did walks on the beach, bicycle riding, bocci ball, and managed to squeeze 11 people and 3 dogs into an average sized den to watch movies.
