Christmas Time in Lakeland with the Turners

Christmas was so much fun this year, it was different to be married and share Christmas not only with my family and traditions but with my Husbands. However, as different as it was, it was also a lot of great new memories, traditions and a lot of fun! We began our Christmas by stating for Patrick and I we will split our time each year with our Families, rotating each year so our families can see us on Christmas day! 

This year we started Christmas on Sunday the 20th thru the 24th with the Turners. We had a great time traveling to Lakeland and making fun memories. We had a blast staying with Patrick's brother Matt and his wife Rayna for the Holidays. Patrick's parents, grandma and our nephews and niece were there as well. It was the first time we were all under one roof, and it was a so fun :).  Matt and Rayna were so sweet to open their home for the Holidays this year. They had a new addition this year, little Logan was born in June. I have 3 beautiful niece and nephews on the Turner side, and I enjoyed spending several days with them.. 4, 2, and 6 months, so it was never a dull moment for sure!!   We played games at night, Scrabble, Balderdash and Phase 10. It was fun to sit and enjoy some vacation time with the family and all of us let out our fun sides for a while.. We ate amazing there as well, as Rayna prepared some great meals!!  Christmas eve was fun, we opened gifts that morning. Patrick and I were so blessed with so many wonderful gifts from his Parents and  Matt and Rayna. We enjoyed watching the kids open and enjoy theirs as well.  Then we headed to the park and enjoyed some time with the kids and playing. It was such a nice Florida day too. Christmas was very fun this year, and look forward to seeing all the family again soon.
