Christmas!

Every year we go to Groveland to spend Christmas with Kevin's family. His sister from NJ comes down with her family. And this year our niece and nephew from CA came! My girls adore their cousin Hannah! It's always a fun time with family. The girls love taking off with Hannah and roaming the 5 acres of orange groves and this year they made their way back to a horse pasture behind our house. The owner came out and let Ayda and Hadley ride his pony. Oh my Hadley was on cloud nine! She LOVES horses and was so excited!

Christmas morning we enjoyed our traditional hearty breakfast then opened presents when George and Kiana arrived. It was chaos but fun!

Kevin's mom was really sick the whole week which was a major bummer. She wanted Harper so bad (she took care of her when I was sick...like did everything for her for a few weeks! They will always have a tight bond I'm sure!).

We came home Friday in time to welcome my Brother and his crew on to the island! I was so so excited to see them and spend the weekend with them! We packed a ton of stuff into 2 days! We went to jax Saturday to see Jim and go to lunch. Then came home and went downtown, had ice cream and saw the boats and sun set. Then Sunday we rented a pontoon boat and went to Cumberland island. I definitely want to go back and explore more! We got back and my crew was exhausted so we came home to chill...my brothers crew pushed forward and hit the beach! Then everyone came over for dinner at our house. We were SO sad to see them leave Monday and his crew was sad to go!

So the Christmas week was packed full! It was awesome to be with so much family tho! The girls had a blast but are exhausted this week! Other than running some errands I've tried to keep us low key to recoup!



Kevin's dad wanted a picture with the grand kids...this is our best shot! Ha!!!





Visiting Jim at his place! What a crew.
