Once upon a time there lived a family with two children. One them was a little boy named Landon and the other a little girl named Natalee Louise, we will call her Lou for this tale.
It all began on a winter day in sunny Florida. The family had decided to go back to Tennessee to visit family and friends for Christmas. With the car packed and the children loaded up, off they went.
The journey would be a long one. 17 hours to be exact. The trip was not an easy one, as the mischevious little girl with curls would not take a nap. The little boy refused to sleep and constantly wanted to know when they would be in Tennessee. Once they arrived on Christmas eve at 5 in the morning, mommy and daddy settled down for a short winter's nap. That night they visited in family in Mississippi and let the kids stay up way too late.
Christmas morning was a flurry of activity and even a light dusting of snow. Lou got the cutest set of American Girl baby dolls and Landon got a Razor scooter. Both children were excited about their presents. The day was spent visiting grandparents and great grandparents.
That Sunday the mommy went to brunch with her friend from her old job and saw her best friend. Once the very short visits were over way too soon, the car was loaded once again, the kids put in the seats, and back to Florida the family went.
By the Monday after Christmas the family of four arrived in Florida at 8am. Mommy and daddy were both exhausted. The trip was short and sweet but worth it. And the family continued to live in sunny southern Florida happily ever after......

We had a nice Christmas back in Tennessee. The weather was cold and crisp and had that "it's going to snow" smell that I love. Our families were happy to see us arrive and sad to see us go.
