We had a great time together this year at our timeshare in Orlando! The weather was great we got to go to 3 awesome places, had a pink tree and a cake from 7-Eleven! We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. The Kingston resort was beautiful, the weather was 80 degrees and the pools were awesome! Swimming on Christmas was something I thought I'd never do, but there we were swimming and having a great time. Yes we had a pink tree, only because that is all we could find. It started to grow on me after a while and didn't look that bad. The cake.... well we were going to get one from Publix on our way home from Busch Gardens, but can you believe the stores close early on Christmas Eve???? he, he, he,..... well we tried everywhere, Walmart (which was also closed), CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, even an international store... so our last attempt was 7-Eleven, and wouldn't you know they had an 8 inch holiday decorated cake!!! It was even pretty good too!! We cooked all our meals in the condo, and preferred eating there instead of out all the time. It was awesome because everyone kicked in and helped. Jon and I had our own section of the condo, and the kids were on the other side with 2 double beds, their own bathroom, and little kitchenette with fridge, microwave, and sink! Needless to say we didn't want the fun to end. Now we are back to reality taking away with us some really awesome memories. I love travling with my family we have so much fun together! The girls travel really well together, which is the best! The mililtary has afforded us so many opportunities to see the country and see things we wouln't have been able to otherwise. I love being in the south and seeing all beauties it has to offer. I am going to miss this place a TON!!!!

O my goodness! is it possible that the girls grew up much faster than normal in the last 2 months? They look so mature in their pictures, and what a fun way to spend Christmas!!!

Mark and I keep talking about the people and place that the military has brought into our lives, what a blessing.
