Catching up from the last post, we had the
CSI retreat first of November in
Merritt Island,
Florida. Georgianna United Methodist hosted the retreat. They did a
fantastic job of hosting all of us. I can't say enough good things about these wonderful people.
We had great
fellowship and fun playing. Here are some of the
CSI kids giving us a concert.
After the retreat we took some
vacation time and had a great time at Disney.
Took in some mini golf.
We love the water!
We stayed at my favorite place again.
Kidani Village at the Animal Kingdom. Here is one of our last pictures right before we left.
Disney put us into the Christmas spirit. We got the Christmas tree up and had the help of friends.
We also had one of the best Thanksgiving's, I will
remember this as one of my favorites. Topped off with Mom crying and not being able to make it through what she was thankful for. Mom did all the cooking and did great!
I think we are all caught up. Well sorta.:)
We stayed at the Coningsby Inn, this is where teams stay when they come for mission work.
This is a little town called 8 mile, this is the town we are helping.
We are trying to get a team together in Feb or March to put a roof and porch on this house. If you would like to go and help call me and we can get you signed up to go on this team.:)
A few of my favorite things, Altun Ha, Mayan ruins. We had such a fun day here. First was the good food! Had the best grilled chicken and the BBQ sauce was awesome.
Another memorable moment is Jon trying to get a Tarantula to come out of it's hole. Luckily, it's to bright for them. Bill got one to come out, but it shot right back into it's hole. CREEPY! Can you imagine at night?? It has got to be crawling with tons of spiders, we saw lots of holes.
Loved this!! I am holding a baby croc. YEEEE! Yes, on top of one of the temples.
Then it got even better, I was holding a baby Ant Eater. He kept tickling my neck. I could have stayed up here all day.:)
On Monday we went out to this Island, Caye Caulker. We all loved it here too.
A slice of paradise. Good news is we have all the permits we need and are able to become a full time mission organization here. God is good!
He's 9!!! I love watching the kids grow and mature 
We love or friends and family!
We also love getting gifts!:)
The Oren clan before they left.
Playing with his toys. Goo, is so much fun!
We also love sledding, no matter how cold it is outside! Hot Chocolate always makes it better.
Tegan loved his Geo Trax Airplane.
We had a great Christmas morning.
In the evening we spent time with our cousins at Grandma's house.
Group pictures are the hardest! Especially when the B-day boy doesn't want his picture taken.
The kids loved playing together and working on there gingerbread houses. The kids took this on as a competitive adventure, boys vs girls...
They don't look to 
As you can see Tiffany wasn't to happy that Grandma had her glasses on. A few seconds later though the glasses became Grandma's early Christmas gift to Grandma. Grandma's comment a little later "I can see better!" I looked at her puzzled, she said it so convincing. My reply "really?" She looked at me and gave me a look and said "No" silently. Once again we had to laugh out loud.
