Random Cates family trip to Tallahassee: 8.5 hours
Our 2007 Christmas trip back home from Tallahassee: 10 hours *PRICELESS*
We had a nice time in Tallahassee with Matt's family. The weather was chilly, and the kids had a lot of playtime outdoors (until Uncle Todd convinced Ethan that there were snakes in the play area-yeah, thanks Turd.) Christmastime in Tallahassee is really beautiful. Tallahassee is beautiful anytime of the year, but it is especially beautiful during the holidays. Yes, our trip took way too long coming home, but we made it safely. Here are some pictures from our trip:
On our way to church on Sunday, we couldn't help but see the big sign advertising the church's "Night Before Christmas" service. The sign said cookies, cocoa and camels. It didn't exactly say it like that, but that's my interpretation of it. There was one camel and lots of cookies.
The new additions to our toy family: Raggedy Ann and Andy that Matt's mom made for the kids. So cute! (Although Matt and his dad weren't sure why the boy needed a doll. Who cares? Andy is adorable!)
Grandma Rosie (age 91!) still going strong and posing with the great-grandchildren.

See Susie! The flashlights were a hit! I even tried it on...
Look at Kenzie striking a pose. And Ethan is doing his best imitation of a ninja.
