A Journal, with Pictures

Joyce and I flew to Ft. Laud­erdale to spend Christ­mas with Jen, Mike and Alexan­dra. We left a day ear­ly due to weath­er, arriv­ing on Thurs­day. We enjoyed Thurs­day after­noon and Fri­day in the Mont­gomery con­struc­tion zone as Jen and Mike are in the mid­dle of a ren­o­va­tion project and the progress is impres­sive, with more to come. Some shop­ping, Mike and Gil vis­it­ed the Wings over Mia­mi avi­a­tion muse­um Fri­day, but most­ly relax­ing and enjoy­ing fam­i­ly. Oh did I men­tion eat­ing, yes eat­ing is our strong suit, lots of food all the time, with a great Christ­mas eve din­ner, then anoth­er feast on Christ­mas day. Back on the diet next week. Christ­mas morn­ing was great with every­one enjoy­ing the gift exchange and of course Alexan­dra was the epi­cen­ter of the gift giv­ing storm. She loved it in a very mature and Chris­t­ian way.  We talked on the phone with Hei­di who was with the Pra­do branch of the fam­i­ly in Myr­tle Beach this year, and all was well.

Joyce and I flew back to Hilton Head on Mon­day to pre­pare for the New Year. It was a great Christ­mas, we are so blessed as a family.
