This year, we traveled at Thanksgiving and decided to stay here for Christmas. My parents graciously offered to come down, as well as my brother, to us so we could have family. Traveling at Thanksgiving was a good trip, but I was fairly miserable, and figured another 8-10 hrs in a car, or a few hours on a plane might make my back hurt too much, and just make me uncomfortable, so it was nice to be home.
Here are some photos from our various activities leading up to Christmas 2008. I need to get the photos from my family of my family while they were here; didn’t seem to manage to get any of those.
I also didn’t get a photo of my pies and my Christmas meal. Should have, but we were too hungry and dug in too quickly! I did make a pretty good apple pie; I have to say it looked really nice! It even had a christmas tree and two star cutouts on top. The pecan pie was TASTY, too.
We also went to the ICE! display at the Gaylord palms. hopefully I’ll have more pictures of that soon. It was again, another wacky Florida thing to do…we’re so warm here, that they bring a room to 9 degrees and people pay good money to go in and look at ice…go figure! Ha. It’s a lot more elaborate than that…it was a really cool display.
