Christmas in Freeport

Christmas morning found us at Tina's house! Everyone was there as we shredded into gifts at 6:30 in the morning. Then it was the traditional naptime, dinner and fun! Terry's house was fun with baby baths, movies, bus rides and all the animals! Wil got a new jeep for Christmas and Elsie got a new red car that matches her cousin Joe's. It was fun racing with them! Wil rode his jeep until the battery died and then rode Tina's! We drove back on Sunday after a wonderful church service and lunch. This trip was fun because we had Grandma Terry with us! She is staying with us through New Years!

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve, we drove to Perry to visit a little with my parents and Grandpa Hoyt. Mom had the place decorated so pretty and we even had a Rudolph on the wall! We all drove up to Grandma Jane's house for the annual Christmas Eve/Bad Santa celebration. Grandma, Aunt Karen, Uncle Richard, Mom, Dad, Grandpa Hoyt, Kevin, Becky, Camden, Luke, Aunt Mary, Uncle David, Sarah and of course, James were all there! We enjoyed the craziness the babies added to the evening. The food was great and so were James's story of his recent dental extractions! I love my crazy family, they are such a hoot!

Christmas Cheer!

We spread the Cheer around with Wil and Elsie! We took treats into their Day Care and visited one of Jason's patients on Christmas Eve before heading to Perry! Merry Christmas!

SEC and a visit from Freeport Folks!

Alright, I've put this off as long as I could! As you know, the Gators lost to Alabama at the SEC championship game. There aren't too many pictures from this one! We had a fun trip, mets some friendly Gator fans in our parking lot and enjoyed the first half! Its just a hard game to lose after not losing any this year! I think Alabama should win it all (Go SEC!)and I think we will be busy in Florida come bowl season! The best part about the weekend was seeing Terry, Jenny, Joe, Aubriyah and Winter again. They came in to watch the kids for us and we got a chance to catch up-I love when they help us out! The kids do too!

Christmas Card

Here are a few of our recent favorites and a few older pictures thrown in! When Santa came to Day Care, Wil was a little nervous! He was a little more calm when we took them to see Santa at the Suwannee! Elsie was her usual sweet self! Why was Wil so nervous? He has been good, right?! Merry Christmas!

No place like home for the Holidays!

Hey Guys! Elsie and Wil here! We have been enjoying an awesome Christmas season so far, how's yours going? Grandpa came for a visit and helped us decorate for Christmas! He also brought some of Grandmas famous Christmas tree cookies to snack on! We've been to church to learn about baby Jesus and Dad and Mom took us to see thousands of Christmas tree lights at the Suwannee Christmas Lights festival! We drove through a winter wonderland, sang carols around the campfire, shopped for crafty things and sat on Santa's lap! Just a few more days until the big day! Happy Birthday Jesus!

Thanksgiving and FSU

After Jason and Wil took in a victorious UF basketball game against FSU, we headed over to Perry for Thanksgiving! We were so blessed and thankful to have so many loved ones there! Both of my grandparents, David, Jeanie, Jim, Kelly, Abigail, Jason, Bill,Becka, Wyatt, Ramona, Mom, Dad, Aunt Karen & Uncle Richard. We ate, laughed and said many thank-yous and I-love-yous! I love my family! Then it was back to Gainesville-thanks to our excellent babysitters in Perry! We tailgated with Tony and Jon and donned our eye black in tribute to Tim Tebow's last gator game and Senior day. It turned out to be Bobby Bowden's last game at the Swamp which made it a little sad. The Gator walk was crazy and you should have seen the flash bulbs going off towards Tebow's last touchdown in the Swamp!
