No, we did not permanently stay in Florida...

We had such an amazing Thanksgiving visit with Mallory's parents! I didn't even know where to begin with an update, so maybe that justfies my delay???


























The food was absolutely delicious! We had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, and a little more on Friday!


Mallory and his brother, Kyle.

On Sunday, the boys went to the beach to fish, and the girls went to Mt. Dora. It's a small town on the outskirts of Orlando that has wonderful shopping and just a quaint place to walk around!


I have the best mother-in-law ever. Really.



This is Patti, a good friend of Delaine's. They were nice enough to let me tag along all week! We had so much fun!

After the turkey was gone, we enjoyed Gabriel's Subs, a Gabriel family owned restaurant since 1958, Dubsdread salads, and of course, IHOP. Remember my birthday? Speaking of IHOP, a brand new store just opened across the river in Indiana. We went this morning. And when the hostess said it was a 45-60 minute wait, I didn't hesitate one second to put our names on the list. Mmmmm. Well worth the wait.

Back to Florida- We also celebrated Christmas early since we won't see Mal's parents during December. Here are some pics from the gift-giving!

Rhett and Butler like to have barking/howling contest. They are hilarious!
