Christmas was very nice this year. My family and Scott's family all came on the 23rd for dinner and fellowship. We had a great time but it ended too quickly. My parents,daughter and son in law stayed the night after the party and we opened gifts. Everyone left Christmas Eve and Hunter, Scott and I went to a candle lite service at our church that was very heartfelt. After that we went riding to look at Christmas lights. It has been nice having Scott off on vacation this Christmas.
The last few days we decided to go off on mini day trips that has been fun. Wednesday we went to Green Cove Springs and drove through the city of lights and ended with a fun night of roasting marshmallows, and ice skating for Hunter at the arena they had set up. Thursday evening we drove to Gainesville and ate at the Melting Pot(fondu) Yummo. Today we went through Hastings and found a really neat place that a gentleman had collected antiques and showed them off in an old train station building. He even has another building that makes their own chips and sells them. Then we went on to Saint Augustine for a early dinner and more ice skating for Hunter. This arena was much larger and they played a movie in the back ground so parents could watch while their children skated. They even had a bubble machine that made fake snow fall on the ice skating rink. It looked pretty cool falling but Hunter said it made it pretty slippery.
Looking forward to a wonderful new year in 2008 but sad to see Scott's vacation coming to an end. Blessings

Hey Sherri,
Sounds like you guys had a wonderful time. Isn't it amazing that the man that can drive you to distraction is the only one that can make you feel so empty when his vacation time is over? Robert has been off since the 25th and doesn't go back until the 8th of January. I am so blessed to have him and will miss him like crazy when he does return to work.
Glad Robert is off spending time with you and the children. I missed you at church. Love ya...
Glad to hear about all the fun things you have done as a family. I love ice skating. We tried taking the youth one time, but they didn't really care for it. I used to go all the time when I was younger. I have never eaten at the Melting Pot. I have heard wonderful things about it and have always wanted to try, but just haven't. Maybe for our 10 year this year.....hmmmmmm......
Was Hunter the only one to iceskate? Movies for the parents sounds like the way to go...but I love to iceskate so I would probably start watching the movie while iceskating and fall on my bum! Last year for Emmett's b-day we went to the ice rink in town...he has asked to go again this year.
