Christmas Vacation Week 1

So this is the day we were leaving, Thursday the 17th, we lined Leah's boyfriend Ryan up to watch the house and take care of the cats for us....As you can see Leah is VERY sad...
Little did she know that her Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Kevin were looking for another driver to help them with the long trip down...Ryan asked Thursday morning from work to get the week off, they said yes, he packed in one day and headed down with them...
What is very nice is that this year we also have the room right next door to us, thats where Ryan, Suzi, Kevin and Richard are staying...
The next morning the SURPRISE was on her:)

I have posted a few pictures of our first week here in Madeira Beach, Florida
This is our 15th year of coming down for Christmas and New Years
Love to see how "white" the girls really were to begin with:)

Then Sunday we headed to Tampa to pick up our little German Daughter Rani

We found a restaurant called the Sea Hag, the owner used to live in South Bend, IN
Love these girls and the beautiful sunset behind them:)

The sunsets really are the best here...

While I was laying poolside, Norman went and bought himself a Christmas present!
This is what Christmas Eve looks like for us...This is our tradition, Pizza and Pasta!


Merry Christmas Everyone
