The Atkinson Family Christmas











We arrived to beautiful weather in Daytona on Friday morning. Uncle Scott picked us up from the airport, and from their our adventures began full swing. The boys did lots of golfing. The girls activities ranged from pedicures to a trip to the beach. Avery loved every moment!!!

Friday night after dinner, we opened presents. Everyone got lots of neat gifts! Avery's favorite is her new Elmo. He does EVERYTHING!!! Of course, she was spoiled once again and has so many new toys.

Saturday we loaded up at 8:00 and headed to Orlando. We were spent the day at Sea World and it was AWESOME! Avery took it all in and loved it! We saw an Elmo show (right up her alley), the Shamu "Believe" Show, and saw all the sea creatures. She loved the dolphins and sting rays. The shark tunnel was really neat, and she couldn't believe the fast swimming penguins. Avery loves horses so we went to see the Clydesdale's. We were able to pet the 2,000 lb. beauty Kelly. By 2:30 it was time to head back home. It was a great day and Avery only napped for 50 minutes. We must have worn her out because she slept for 14 straight hours.

Sunday was another fun filled day as we headed to the beach. This summer Avery hated the sand which made going to the beach no fun. However, this was a new day and she didn't want to get out of the ocean. Remember it is December and the water was not very warm. She jumped waves, face planted, chased birds, and got her clothes soaked.

We are having so much fun! Tomorrow we head back to Atlanta and I am afraid Avery is going to be so bored after such a fun holiday!
