our last "leg" of our trip was on our way back to minnesota! I have to say that the Orlando Airport was the worst! We waited in line to check one bag longer than we waited in any of the lines at Disney World. It was hard for all of us, since we were not only leaving a hot and magical vacation, but also because we were going to back to cold reality in Minnesota.
After we arrived back in Minnesota it was smooth sailing into the new year...
here's to a great start to our new year!

ORLANDO AIRPORT
"look sad"
we LOVED delta airlines because we had complimentary movies and access to wi-fi...it was bliss, even if we were going back to minnesota!
minnesota - here we come!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
our family decided to attend church on saturday, since we knew it was going to be a late night, and we had another christmas the next day.
we all dressed up and had a fancy meal...bobby even wore his suit!
after our supper and "withers dance party", the kids drank kid wine and rang in the new year...

brandi.jill.judy
we had to sand all of our boards
next we had to select and stain our boards - i chose a white stain
after that, we had to screw all the boards together to create the back supports.
later we had to attach a wire to hang the sign
i had to peel all the letters apart from my stencil...it was stressful!
ready to stick it to my board
next we had to align it on our board and paint over the stencil...
ta-da! this is the end result :)
this was the entire crew...didn't they do a fantastic job?

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!
