As part of the Thanksmas fun, we visited Lake Lanier Islands and their Magical Night of Lights. The big kids (AKA Jen, Brian, and Brea) went on a zip line tour. It was FREEZING out - but we warmed up roasting marshmallows and drinking hot chocolate!

Every year my family celebrates Thanksgiving - which is Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled up in one fun filled week!

Florida Part II (AKA DISNEY!)

After we wrapped up a great visit with Kara and Aunt Cindy, we headed to Disney World and met up with Brian's family.














After four jam packed days - we were EXHAUSTED! But we had a wonderful time!

Florida!

We spent Thanksgiving in Florida this year visiting friends and spending time at the Magic Kingdom with family.

On our first day, we met up with my Aunt Cindy and David for an afternoon at Downtown Disney. Because we haven't seen Aunt Cindy since Josh and Alyssa's wedding and Morgan's first birthday, we loved being able to spend a few hours with them.

Our second stop was to visit 'McKara' (as Matty puts it!) at her wonderful home. Thankfully the weather was quite warm at times so we were able to enjoy the beach, manatee watching, and a rocket launch! It doesn't appear we will ever make a shuttle launch, but it was pretty cool watching the rocket launch. Thankfully the rain held so we didn't get soaking wet while we waited!
