a grand old time...

we did indeed have a grand old time in the sunshine state. curt and i, along with the entire Deskin’s family spent thanksgiving on Daytona Beach this year. we played putt-putt, fashioned crafts, strolled the beach, ate way too good, snapped family photos, opened gifts, stayed up late, woke up early….you name it and we probably did it. our three days in florida were filled with splendid delight. instead of rambling on and on about our trip, i have decided to attach lots of photos to tell our story. please enjoy our family and our fun…

wednesday afternoon we headed to pirate's island to play putt-putt...p.s. ask curt who won...I DID!

okay, take 3 here.......love the post. A great way to keep up with the two of you. Jen, thanks for the terrific weekend suprize, it would not have been the same without you. Curt, we missed seeing you and good luck with finals. Thanks again for the movie package, always creative and fun!!!!

Now, I told Greg that I have to get in gear and get my own blog going. He and I attended a class a couple weeks ago to get current. I can "twitter" too....can you? Of course, with the beach in two weeks, back to Fl in mid-Jan, Bali end of Jan, and that 50"s thing early March it might be mid-year '09 but you will be the first to critique my site before going public. Love to you both, Mike
