Our Christmas/Florida Itinerary

My nails are painted red for Christmas and we are ready to hit the road!

We are headed to Florida tonight...tonight people! Can you hear the angels singing yet? I can because I am SO excited to be back in the Sunshine State and see my family for Christmas! Here is our very tentative Itinerary. I say tentative because I do not know what time I will be able to leave work on Thursday, nor do I know how far we will drive on Thursday night. Ideally I would LOVE to drive the entire way, but if we are too tired and unable we will do the responsible thing and stop at a hotel. Here goes:

12/23/2010

3:00pm-6:00pm: leave IN and head south to FL :)

12/24/2010

10:00am: Arrive in Florida at my parents house (sometime in the morning hopefully!)

6pm: Christmas Eve service at Russell Baptist Church with immediate family

7pm: Aunt Erin and Uncle Bill's 34th Annual Christmas Party!

11pm: Go to sleep so Santa can come visit!

12/25/2010

8am: Wake up and head to the living room to see what Santa brought us! Open gifts with Mom, Dad and Hunter

10am: Get ready for Christmas at Grams

10:30am: Bake Hashbrown Casserole for cousin Billy at Grams and eat lots of yummy Christmas breakfast goodies!

11:30am: Open gifts with the entire family at Gram's house then start the clean up process! *This part of the day is seriously crazy. Imagine 30 people opening gifts at the same time with centralized trash bags and can for paper to go in...wads of paper flying in all directions...CRAZY, but i.love.it!

1:20pm (ish): Christmas dinner with most of the extended family at my parents house

2:30pm: Time to put PJ pants on because your jeans no longer fit!

3pm: Food Coma beginning to set in...good time to watch a new movie from Santa, or Mom & Dad!

8pm: I-HOP breakfast dinner with the girls (Keri, Jessie and Jessie and this year the husbands get to come!) to continue our breakfast gift exchange tradition :)

9:30pm: Going to see the house that lights up to music in OP. It is crazy cool and I am very excited for Stephen to see it this year!

11pm: Sleep...

12/26/2010

Sunday is pretty much open after church which is good because we will probably all be worn out from the Christmas activities. We will depart either Sunday night or early Monday morning to head back North. I will work on posts all about it when we get back. Until then, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
