11 years

On December 15th, Rob and I celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary. The 15th was a Thursday so we celebrated on Saturday when my parents came in town to watch the kids. We went to a restaurant that I have been wanting to try called Funky Monkey Wine Company. It is a little pricey but every course was really really good. Afterwards, we ran some errands and got frozen yogurt. I have been trying to plan a trip for us since our 10th anniversary and now that Nola is older I hope we will be able to have a getaway soon.

November and Thanksgiving

A few weeks before Thanksgiving, Rob and I went to go to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park. Someone at work gave Rob tickets and they expired at the end of the month. Unfortunately the only day that worked for Rob to take a day off and that my parents could be here to watch the kids was an unusually cold day for Florida. The week after it was back in the 80s. We braved the cold and still managed to have fun.
Rob's favorite attraction was the scuba diving experience with the sharks. I did not scuba dive because they kept that water in the 60s and I was already pretty numb from the cold already. There were several fun slides and it was nice to spend the day just the two of us.


We spent Thanksgiving at my sister Katie's home. We had a fun time eating, playing with cousins, and visting a fun historical park called Fort Christmas that had cute little old homes to walk through, a Fort, and animals. Katie was also able to get a few good family pictures.







A new Thanksgiving tradition in our home is that Rob makes a second Thanksgiving dinner on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Rob's favorite meal is Thankgiving so he has to have it twice. After we got back from spending the weekend with my sister, we made a mini Thanksgiving meal after church. Jack and Callie got to break the wishbone from this turkey and Callie won.


The next week, we spent decorating the house for Christmas.
