We had a wonderful Christmas 
celebration.   We did our advent throughout the previous couple of weeks
 ~ we had to double up, because we got a late start~, and the week 
before Christmas we did What God Wants For Christmas from Family Life, 
finishing up on Christmas Day.  Marissa
 and Daniella enjoy that, and Daniella had forgotten what the "surprise"
 was, so it was fun to see her open the last box.   My parents came on 
the 23rd, and we've just enjoyed a laid back time, for the most part.  Remember how I said I had done no  baking?  I made up for it.  Whew.  
   Now it's time to finish 
quickly cleaning it all up, wash all the clothes, and pack our bags.  
Jan. 1, we're headed to Disney World!  What was I thinking?!  LOL.  The 
girls are major excited, and I think between Christmas and the trip, 
Marissa has been on overload!  Briana is going back late to her classes 
(she doesn't get any kind of grade or credit for them; "just" 
experience.) and going with us.  I haven't been able to get into it so 
far, but as I'm typing, I'm getting a little excited!  I know once all 
the work is done, and we're there, we'll have a great time.  We should 
have internet access at least part of the time, so I'll be checking in. 
 
   My newest entertainment is 
Facebook.  I really had no desire for one until Ashley started finding 
all of these old high school friends of mine!  I joined a couple of 
weeks ago, and it has been really neat to reconnect with so many 
people.  It's better and different than a class reunion, mainly because 
most of my friends were in different classes, not my own.  You also 
don't have to worry about what you're going to wear, or what your hair 
looks like!  LOL.    I'd have to say, more than old friends, I'm 
addicted to a game on there called PathWords....thanks to Maria.  
 That girl can find some words fast!  Last night I went to sleep 
spelling words in my mind's eye.  I can't catch her, though.  
   I'm off to do laundry, clean 
house, and start tackling what I can get packed.  We're taking our pop 
up and staying in Fort Wilderness Campground.....$43 a night right now, 
compared to their peak rate of $96 a night.  Can you believe it?  For a 
campsite!  It's actually cheaper than the off site campgrounds this time
 of year.  It's  a great campground,  and still cheaper than a motel, 
plus we don't have to eat out breakfast. This time of year, the park 
closes at 8:00 most nights, so we also just eat a late snack, then come 
back to the camper and eat a quick dinner~soup ready to heat up, sub 
sandwiches, fruit and veggies, etc.  That saves a ton of money and 
nutrition.  I'm really talking myself into being excited here!  Not 
about the food, just thinking about being there.  
  Alright.  I did say I needed to go get busy, didn't I?
