Christmas 2008

There wasn't any snow, but we were able to travel safely. The big toys from Santa were the Pet Shop for K and Spiderwick books for T. Mom received a suitcase and Dad a gun. He is getting ready for New Year of "Change."

Above is a picture of Nanny with the grandkids and Aunt Lisa peeking in. We had a great day of visiting family and it was nice to have Aunt Julie back after 6 years away.

This was the Christmas season of sightseeing. Kennedy had her picture taken with 3 different Santas, we went to the State Museum with Grandpa K, downtown on the circle with the Stumps and Wilsons, Disney on Ice with Lili and Shawna, Children Museum with K's first grade class and a quick trip home to renew a holiday tradition of helping Mody decorate cookies. It was a busy month, but I hope we can do it again next year. May God Bless all of you in the upcoming year!

Family Vacation

Just after my last entry we left for Florida for 6 days. We had a great time, even though the weather was not too good. Thanks to Jane and Bill we were ablet to stay on the beach at Cocoa Beach, which the girls thought was the best thing about trip, besides the pool. The weather was in the record lows the first few days, so we kept busy by going to the Kennedy Space Center and Disney. By the time we were done sight seeing the weather warmed up and we were able to spend time at the pool and beach.

The Kennedy Space Center was great! We learned a lot and Kennedy kept asking everyone why they named it after her? Tressa took lots of pictures and was amazed at how tall the space rockets actually are.

It was a great day to go to Disney, not too cold or hot. Kennedy wanted to see Cinderella as soon as we got there and we were able to see her which thrilled K. She was so nervous standing in line as she watched the other kids greet Cinderella, Belle and Sleeping Beauty. Her greeting was a bow to each princess, which is now the greeting to everyone. Tressa was happy to go on Space Mountain twice and any other roller coaster. By the end of the day we were tired and ready to head back to the condo. My favorite part of the trip was having a van again! The whole trip was perfect every thing went right and both flights were great. This was the first plane trip for K and she did excellent.
