A perfect match

I gave my boys some carrot-zucchini bread with frosting on it.

Here is Jack's bread...frosting gone!

Here is Tanner's bread...bread gone!

I guess they should switch plates now.
Kenny caught a picture of us watcing a Chistmas movie together.

A cute picture of boys together.

They really are a perfect match!

So much to be thankful for!

I am usually a little sad at the holidays, because I am rarely with my family. This year I had a really nice chat with each of siblings and I am so thankful to have each of them in my life. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my brothers and sisters!

We had such a great time with Kenny's fam, that I didn't have a chance to feel sad. We had the party at our house (20.5 people- 14 adults, 6 children, and 1 baby).

This is us getting set up for dinner

James H, Robert, Steven, Carlyn, Teneise, and her finance' Jason

Kid's table: Tanner, Carley (and her adorable pixie haircut), Sydney and Quincey.

It was a great day of food, family, games, and relaxing.

Florida Trip- Day 7

Day 7- We had another red-eye flight, so we took advantage of the Jacksonville beaches in the morning! Tanner really wanted his dad to help him make a sandcastle.

Autumn, walking down the shore!

Construction under-way

The finished project, the best we could do with only 20 minutes to build it!

The boys saying goodbye to our hotel!

I had such a good time, that I was really dreading the end of this trip! By the time the end came, I was more then ready to go home. I was so tired and so was everyone. We partied every second we could! Our family was first in and first out, so that made it easier too!

I am so glad to have gotten this chance to have some fun with my family, immediate and distant alike!

Florida Trip- Day 6

Day 5- Disney World

As an early Christmas present to my family, my Dad brought us one day at the Magic Kingdom.

I think I was more excited than anyone else.

The boys got button to wear since it was their first visit!

Jackson and I waiting for Tanner and Daddy to come off the Big Thunder Mt Train ride.

You can see Kenny in the red shirt with his hand up waving!

Aladdin's magic carpet ride

Waiting for the parade

Almost any character you can think of was in this parade, the boys were not disappointed!

Jack saw Mickey Mouse!

Taking our picture on the buzzlightyear ride.

Tanner was very excited to see Zurg in jail!

Tanner was so happy to meet Buzz

Jackson wouldn't get to close to any characters!

We had dinner with Winnie the Pooh and Friends. Tanner loved it!

Jackson just was happy to get food!

Jackson is still not so sure about this!

Funny story, the restaurant got us mixed up with another group and brought Tanner a b-day cupcake. Tanner was so excited that they knew it was his birthday last week, that they waitress just played along with him! They even gave him a birthday card signed by Pooh and friends!

Pooh was the boy's favorite!

Jackson went right up to him and gave him a hug, saying, "Teddy Bear!"

The only character Jack would go near. It was so cute!

The whole place was decorated for Christmas! It was pretty, but I wasn't quite ready to hear "Here Comes Santa Claus" playing throughout the day!

Cinderella's Castle

Our view as we were leaving the park!

We had so much fun! I loved seeing the wonder in my boys' eyes. I am glad we had this opportunity and we could spend this time together.
