Our Christmas in Florida

We spent a lovely 6 days in Ft. Myers, Florida with Jeremy's entire family over Christmas. We had a wonderful time and it was over much much too quickly! Somehow we survived the two day road trip down and back! Whew!

Here's Johnathan helping Daddy to gas up on the way down.



Joshua began his friendship with cousin Jackson who is just 3 months younger!



Jeremy's sisters and mother with the babies.



The kids got to ride a golf cart to church on Sunday for Sunday School with Grandma.



Our lovely nieces, Hannah, 8 and Madelyn, 5.



Johnathan with cousin Daniel, also 5.



Jackson and Joshua.



Johnathan mastered this rope swing in the front yard. What fun!



Some time on the beach front at Shellpoint.









The kids at a goldfish pond.



Joshua climbed all over this rocking chair the entire time we were there.



Shellpoint has a model train room. Johnathan was in his glory. Here he got to do the switches himself!



This is really just a wall painting! Pretty realistic though!



Nativity scene and sunglasses = Christmas in Florida :)



The whole clan (minus Grandma taking the pictures and Grandpa making funny faces so the kids will smile.)



The Hogsed Family: Mike, Lori, Mark, Daniel, Caleb and Boy #4 on the way!



The Torrans Family: Kevin, Amy, Hannah, Madelyn and Jackson
