Parks Winter Vacation 2009 in Review

Here are some pictures from how we spent the rest of our holiday break...

Here we are headed to take our birthday/holiday pictures.



The morning after the kids' birthday, Terry realized that there was a UCF basketball game that evening. The Parks and Crawfords packed in the truck and headed to Orlando.

We had a great time at the game...



as did The Crawfords.



As we were walking to the game we discovered that Light Up UCF was going on right outside of the UCF Arena. The Arena was covered with Christmas lights, festive Christmas music was playing, there was an ice skating rink, ferris wheel, carousel and other fun stuff going on. It was really hard for Star to bypass this and head into the game, but we got her in;) After the game, although a little chilly and late, we were able to take the kids on their first carousel ride. As you can see they enjoyed it:)



We enjoyed several pancake and waffle breakfasts that the kids, especially Olivia, enjoyed. She is quite a fan of pancakes/waffles with syrup. Here is Olivia sharing her pancakes with TJ.



The kids had so much fun with Star and Travis during their visit with us.




The Crawfords cooked a wonderful New Year's dinner complete with the traditional black eyed peas, collard greens as well as some spectacularly seasoned cornish hens. Mmmm...mmm...good!




Needless to say we were very sad to see them leave...and sad to see the winter vacation end.

Happy New Year!
