| After a delicious dinner, we all gathered around their big fire pit in the big backyard. |
 |
| Bro. Alomia explaining the Año Viejo to us. Año Viejo is a tradition that symbolically burns up the failures, regrets and anger of the old year in order to usher in the hopes and resolutions of the new one. On the last day of the year, people construct effigies that might represent an irritating person, a disliked political figure, or even disappointment about past mistakes or unachieved goals. |
 |
| The Woodruff's brought this "person" that represented this past years struggle with Annette's cancer and treatments that she went through. It was such a tough year for them and I am so glad that she is now in remission. |
 |
| Then the item that represented "the bad stuff" is thrown into the fire while everyone claps and cheers! |
 |
| We brought some pretty cool fireworks for the kids to play with.! |
 |
| Love you so much Aaron! Looking forward to another year with you! |
 |
| Joan and Roxanne drove up from Palm Coast to visit with us for a few hours. It is always entertaining when they come over! I am so blessed to live close to Aunt Joan and have loved getting to know her better. |
 |
| Such a beautiful Christmas tree! |
 |
| We went to a local bed and breakfast for a festive Christmas dinner. |
