2011 Holidays...paraphrased :)

Our first holiday season as a married couple was great! It was super busy, but we wouldn't have it any other way. To start off we went down to Orlando, Florida for Thanksgiving (and my birthday)! We really just spend our time relaxing and being lazy. Our family spends so much time being busy that we didn't feel like going on a vacation with an agenda. It was so nice to not have a schedule to follow! The weather was gorgeous the entire time, and most of our nights were spend eating, shopping, and watching the live entertainment at Downtown Disney. Our days were filled with sleeping in, going to the movie theater, and a little bit of sightseeing.

Downtown Disney...My favorite Disney Princess!

 

 

 

 

For my birthday we went to T-Rex Cafe. It's an awesome restaurant in Downtown Disney. As soon as you step foot in the door you are transported back to the prehistoric ages with the dinosaurs. I can't even begin to describe it all. It's pretty awesome!

I know this is a horrible picture, but the lighting is so low its tough to get a good one!

We also went to see ICE! at the Gaylord Palms Resort. It features 4.5 acres of ice sculptures. Over two millions pounds of ice. And they keep it 9 degrees in there! This year ICE! featured Shrek.

Getting ready to go into ICE!

For Thanksgiving day we went down to my brother Brad's house. We spent the day with him, his wife Niki, and their four kids, Owen, Alex, Kate, and Jane. I'm pretty sure we all ate too much food, but it was soo good!

Christmas this year was sooo hectic! Kevin and I had 5 different places to go on Christmas day! We started the day off at 5:30 AM :/ We did our Christmas together at our house and then left to go to Kevin's dads. On the way to his dad's house Kevin tried to blind a state trooper with his high beams so we got pulled over....on Christmas morning....in our pajamas....and to top it all off, Kevin didn't have his ID, haha. At least it was memorable! We spent the rest of the day going to various family member's houses and just enjoying each other's company. It was a great first Christmas!
