The Boone Family

The holidays never end with the Boone's. We love hosting Christmas at our house with the Boone family.  Everyone makes the journey down from up north to enjoy food, laughter, and fun.  This usually happens later in January, which helps us extend the holiday season!!! Landon working hard with his new Legos from Aunt Julie Nolan was loving his opportunity to squeeze on his little cousin Hayden (Ron and Shannon’s daughter) Bowling at Park Lanes is our yearly tradition.

Everyone loves a great surprise right???  For Christmas we planned a surprise getaway to Florida.  The boys woke up early to open their Christmas presents and the last present that they opened was a present with a secret message that they had to decode with their spy black light pens.  It was so fun to see them figure it out!  We quickly loaded the van and took off South. We grabbed Maw Maw and Paw Paw on the way through.  We made it to Louisville to spend the night. It was Christmas so not many places were open for business so we got lucky and ate dinner at Hard Rock Cafe off of 4th st Live.  Paw Paw got his sweet birthday treat and they even played his request "when I'm 64" by the Beatles. It's so funny to me that when we stay at a hotel the first thing the boys request to do after getting in the hot tub is "can we go to the fitness room?"
