Whim: Just hangin out with Jesus

Man! Can you tell these kids are cousins or What!

So we up and left to Florida at Christmas time this year. What a strange experience it was waking up in someone else's bed Christmas morning. The girls were so worried that santa may not find us, but we reassured them that Santa would be informed.

We started out at the Holy Land, its basically a Christian amusement park. There are shows that go on periodically with talented singers and actors. The shows range from spiritual to kidsie. There is also a mini model of old Jerusalem which was really cool to see. The strangest thing was walking around seeing Jesus all the time. I think it even confused the girls a bit. The kids got to go inside Jonah's whale, and even pretend to be Samson and Delilah.

On Christmas eve we went to the beach, it was quite chilly but the girls got in with the Hatchlings and Dads too.

Shauna has a fun tradition with the kids, a little elf visits them every day. They each have a small elf outfit (that acts as a stocking) and the elf comes each night to leave the kids a toy or treat. The foot prints are even left behind too.

After Christmas we headed back up North toward Jenny and Jason's. It was so nice to see them, honestly the kids hardly know each other, but you'd never know it. They all hit it off right away. Kaden is such a charming gentleman and growing up so much. He is a spitting image of his dad. We found a game place where we all waisted lots of quarters and brain cells, buts its ok because we won tons of tokens for prizes.

Later we went back to the Womack residence where dads and kids played War with nurf guns in the dark. Jenny and I chit chatted and played speed with Uno cards. We are both still really good. It was more of a challenge than either of us expected. ha ha.
