The End of Christmas

Showertime, originally uploaded by coonjamm.

We had a good Christmas here at MC. It was a snowy day...the kids took their sled outside and had a kind of good time. The reason I say kind of good is because they were all "Christmas Story" bundled up and couldn't really do much of anything.

Britt got a princess little people set, Braden got a Tigger and Pooh playhouse, Emily got some Mickey Mouse earings, and I got some beef stick. Emily and I are going shopping tomorrow to buy our real gifts (I am looking forward to my new hiking backpack).

We ended the day with bathtime which is where this picture was taken. I'm normally not one for bath pictures, but Britt's face was priceless as she tried to grab the water that was falling.

A Magical Vacation

Emily and I just got back from the Orlando, Florida, area for a great vacation. We spent 8 days enjoying the beach, Disney World, and a Christian camping conference. It was a great time away from home (and the kids) refreshing and relaxing. You can check the two previous posts for each of our favorite parts of our vacation.

Emily's Favorite Part of Vacation

Emily, the Disney expert, loved everything we did at the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. She especially loved torturing me on the Tower of Misery/Terror. I have never seen her walk so fast as when we were in these parks.

Jason's Favorite Part of Vacation

One of our vacation days, we took a ferry out to Caladesi Island and took a mile hike through a pine and palm tree forest, enjoyed the beach to ourselves, saw armadillos, and saw a sweet kayak trail which we will do in the future. It was so relaxing and we got some great pictures.
