Catching Up...

My (Brian) mom said that she knows when we are busy because we don't update the blog.  It is very true, we have been very busy in our lives.  We have been working on our yearly photo book but also maintaining busy (fun) weekends and end of the semester duties at our schools. Since Thanksgiving-which was our last blog-we have been doing a lot of things: concerts, celebrities, christmas, and classes (notice the alliteration).  The really cool thing about our jobs (both of ours) is that we have the same schedule which means these few weeks off.  With this free time we plan on seeing people we love and enjoying the time off but that is for a different blog.

This blog is to catch you up with what we have done in the past tree weeks.  The pictures and captions will explain what we have done.

The day we got back from our tThanksgiving break, we went to Epcot Disney World for their Candlelight Service.

Tonight's celebrity narrator was Neil Patrick Harris

From "How I Met Your Mother" and "Dr. Horrible Sing along Blog" but also comedian and magician.

We waited a long time to get in

Local High Schools from around the area. Like Mine (Brian's) from Titusville

Read the Christmas Story from Bible intertwined with songs

There was a rocket launch in the morning.  This is the time we showed up because there was going to be a crowd.

It was very early in the morning but we got a GREAT parking spot so we took a nap.

It is the first of its kind capsule. The ORION capsule that will take people to Mars in the future.

People from all over the country came and filled the area and beaches

We stood in the same spot for two hours waiting for the rocket to launch

There were too many delays and complications on launch day so it didn't go off.

After a 24 hour turn around time, they tried again the next morning at 7.05 am

We didn't get as good as spots because we were too tired from the previous day, so we went to the beach this time.

From the beach.

I (Brian) took the camera to school that day to capture the traffic that was going to happen.

The following weekend, we went to a different theme park for their Christmas Celebration.

This is Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

He's a mean one. He's the the GRINCH!

Warm Butterbeer! (better than frozen)

Universal Studios' Christmas Tree (and monkey in the background)

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Floats such as Cat in the Hat.

Floats from the actual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

After the float we went to a Mannheim Steamroller Concert and got front row seats

Good seats.

Universal Studios' Lights

Ugly Sweater Day at my (Brian) School. I went with Homemade Charm

I <3 Santa Paws...there were cats as reindeer on the front of the shirt (Staci's Idea)

Our cat, Minerva, decided to attack the shirt.  Apparently she also likes santa paws

This is Staci's Christmas Craft that she did at her school.

Ready for the Christmas Season (with a super annoyed cat face)

We are currently in Missouri now.  Hopefully we will see you in these few weeks until we go back to Florida.
