Traditions

Bart & I decided a fun Christmas tradition that we wanted to start this year, was to have a fun evening as a family and stay in a hotel. We had a good experience with Priceline for Spring break 2010, so decided to try our luck once again. Who knew? We got the same hotel at the same rate. Crowne Plaza, here we come, baby!

So, on the 23rd, we went out to Olive Garden and then over to our Hotel. Whitney was SO excited to swim and stay in the hotel. I have a feeling she was envisioning Zoombezi Bay Waterpark. Sorry, sweetie. This one is just a pool.

The best part was that Lexi got to join us. (And James & Molly too!) I must apologize to the Heatons because they had to see me 37-weeks pregnant in a swimsuit. I'm no supermodel, gang.

The girls loved swimming in the pool and hot tub. Molly and I froze our tails off in the pool and then stuck our legs into the hot tub. Whitney loved jumping off the edge of the pool into her Daddy's arms.

That night was sort of eventful. We had a pull-out couch and a king-sized bed in our room. Whitney started out on the pull-out couch, and then in the middle of the night ended up in between Bart and me. All night long Bart was being kicked in the back while I was being slapped in the face. What is it about kids being so wild when they sleep?

Please no comments about how tired I look. Yes, I was VERY tired.... but no worries... I look much worse than I feel.
