Christmas morning: The next two pictures are of the girls opening their final gift from Jeff & I. A trip to Florida. Needless to say they were very surprised, VERY EXCITED, & couldn't believe that we were going the next day! We have been planning this trip since June for the girls as a one of their Christmas gifts. It was so much fun planning it, but got to be a little bit hard near the end to keep it a surprise. But we did!!!
Saturday, we traveled to Macon, GA, and stayed at the Ramada (very nice). Then we finished traveling to Clearwater, Florida, on Sunday. We stayed with my cousin, Aleda, & her husband, Dan. Her daughters & their families came over for dinner (delicious, homemade spaghetti) and I got to meet their children for the first time. My cousin Aleda & I are 2nd cousins, so you can figure from this picture that there are 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th cousins in the picture below!!!! :)
Front row: Me, Kerri, Sharree, Cynthia, Aleda, Alexa, Austin, & Shawn. Second row: Derrick, Brenda, Alex, & Pam.

We were in Stuart, FL, Tues. - Thurs., with our friend, Jonathan. After we finally, woke up on Tuesday, we took the girls to see the Atlantic. It was the first time for Kerri to see the ocean, & a "first" for Sharree since she didn't remember it before we moved to Ohio (she was 2yrs.). It was beautiful, but chilly.

Our host, Jonathan.
While at Jonathan's, we: went to two different beaches; went to two malls; went to my friend, Rachel's house for dinner with her family & sister; and toured Hobe Sound Bible College campus with the girls & Mrs. Judy Fay as our guide.
On Friday, we traveled to North Carolina, to be with my brother & his family. We haven't seen them for a couple of years and it was the first time for us to meet my nephew, Aiden. It was a short, but sweet visit, and we so enjoyed getting to know Aiden. He had no problems adjusting to any of us. :)
Needless to say, we had an awesome time on our trip! The girls ranked their top favorite things as: #1 seeing/meeting family & friends, #2 Epcot, #3 the ocean/beach, #4 eating at lots of different restaurants.
