We spent Christmas Eve at Grandpa Clair and Grandma Sharon’s house. 
Hailey got to meet up with Grace before the Christmas Eve church service.
The big day in the Magic Kingdom (Jeffito’s playground). It was a wonderful day. The weather was perfect. Hailey learned that she is a roller coaster kid. Now the family can all go on all the rides together. 
I think it was really special having my Mom and Chris with us.
On the first day in Orlando Nate was a little under the weather, so we went to Downtown Disney for lunch. The reminder of the day we rested up for the big day at the Magic Kingdom.

All the Christmas lights were shining. The end of a fun Day.
For our stay at Disney we stayed at the Pop Century resort. The kids loved the huge landscape. I think everyone appreciated the pop culture theme. We stayed in the 60’s
Over the week end, we went down to Key West for the day. It was fun. This is the most southern point in the US.
Arrrgh Matey!!!
We opened presents at Chris’s house. Every one had a good time.
Hailey enjoyed getting a manicure with her Aunt.
I really needed a picture of the palm tree with Christmas lights. It captured the mood just right.
We were able to meet up with Mom and Lou on the flight down to Florida. It was nice to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa. The first day at Chris’s house we spent most the day working off the jet lag, in the afternoon we went on an air boat ride. The pictures here were taken only a few miles from Chris’s house.
This Alligator was about 7 ft long.
Merry Christmas everyone!! Hope you all had a happy holiday season. I know we sure did!!
