Christmas and New Years at the Beach!

For New Years this year we headed to the beach to celebrate Christmas, my birthday and the New Years with the McKenna family. This was Charlies third trip to the beach and he isn't even a year old, this however was his first time to go to Fort Morgan the other trips have been to Sunnyside in Panama City. Of course this time it was a bit cooler and he didn't get to go swimming but he was still able to enjoy the sand and the ocean from a distance. It was a great 4 days spent relaxing, playing, reading and enjoying time with family.

We started off by celebrating my 27th Birthday on December 30, with a great cake from Edgar's and a few presents. On the 31st we Celebrated Christmas, my mom and Molly did a great job of decorating the Palm Tree with lights to serve as our Christmas tree, we ate coffee cake and open presents just like it was Christmas at the McKenna house. New Years Eve was quit uneventful for us, we ventured out for lunch in Gulf Shores and went shopping for a bit before returning back to the house to relax and start dinner. We enjoyed a great dinner for New Years eve, watched some football and we all fell asleep before the ball dropped, the beach really does wear you out. New Years day brought Outlet Shopping, which is always exciting when you have gift cards, and a fun night of fondue. January 2nd the boys went fishing while the girls and PePa and Charlie hung out at the house and on the 3rd we left to come back home to reality. It was so nice to get away for a few days and recharge our batteries before we started a New Year.

We hope everyone had a great New Year and that 2009 will bring many great and new adventures for all.
