We have been BUSY!!!!!

Okay, before we leave to go to SC for the holidays, I figured I would post some pictures!! This is what we have been busy doing over the last week!!!

~ORNAMENTS~

I have had fun being a little crafty this year....haven't had time to do much, but these were a lot of fun!

~"Winterfest" in Seminole Florida~

Last Saturday evening was the town "Winterfest". We had a great, relaxing time. The town of Seminole really puts a lot of time & money into the community. The Winterfest came complete with Santa, bounce houses, crafts, games & they even brought in a snow blower so that the Florida kids could sled!!! How awesome is that???!!!

As you can see from the photos, we don't do hot chocolate like we did in SC. In Flordia, we do slushies!!!

~Beach Time~

This past Sunday, we decided to have an afternoon on the beach....yes, it's still that warm here!!! But, it was strange weather...as you can see from the pics below, we did have some fog!

~KARATE~

Cole has still been taking Karate & he LOVES it!!!! And, he just earned his GOLD BELT!!!!! We are so proud of him!!!!

~TREASURE ISLAND BOAT PARADE~

After Karate on Monday night, we went down to Treasure Island to meet our awesome friends, The Posti Family. Amy & Scott and their beautiful daughters Reagan & Riley. Reagan is in Cole's class. We all have a WONDERFUL time together!!!

Here are all the kids waiting "patiently" for the boats!!

                                Left to Right- Reagan, Cole, Riley & Taylor                                  

Again, waiting patiently ;)

The boats were hard to get photos of, so sorry for that!! But, we all had such a great time!!!!

~COLE'S SCHOOL WINTER PROGRAM~

And, on Tuesday night, Cole had his first school program. He was so excited & they did such an AWESOME job. I am one proud momma!!!!

Taylor & Riley waiting for the program to start. They are so cute together!

Taylor & Riley~ so cute together!!

Cole & Reagan after the program!! They did such a great job!

This is Cole with Tyler~ they are partners in crime!!

This is Cole's teacher, Ms. Young. She is wonderful! We feel very blessed to have her!

So, as you can see, we have been pretty busy!! Now, today, I'm packing us all up to go home to SC!!!!! We will be leaving tomorrow night (Friday) and will return next Saturday night/ Sunday morning. I will probably be pretty busy while I'm there, so I may not post again until we return. So, MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all! I hope everyone has time to slow the pace a little have time to be thankful for our Saviour, Jesus Christ!!! Thank you Lord for all you do for us~ each and every day!!!!

Merry Christmas to you all!!
Love~ Matt, Joy, Cole & Taylor
