Tree down on the Jersey Shore
OK.......so what were you thinking while you viewed these pictures? For the last FIVE days, John and I have been non stop in trying to get all we need to do for Christmas. If it has not been bad enough with John's computer crashing twice and our endless travels from house to house for three of our four daughters.......and a non stop shopping day in preparation for the families arriving on Christmas and the day after. So what do we walk into this afternoon? YUP, you got it......a fallen tree!!!!! This has been a two hour set back for us. We hope to start to wrap our gifts tonight, but I don't think so. We are exhausted. The sun will come out tomorrow!!!

A SNOWBIRD HEADING NORTH
This Snowbird is boarding a plane to Atlantic City, NJ tomorrow morning. Once up in the COLD north country, I must needs go and buy a LIVE Christmas Tree to place at our beach house. I will spend all day Friday decorating this tree and house for the holiday season. We will host our family the day after Christmas, 17 of us minus Erin and Corey who abide in Singapore. (I will GREATLY miss them) On December 27, it is our "turn" to host the EXTENDED FITZ FAM and we'll do it at our house. We are up to about 40 people for this event!!!! YIKES!!!!! I put out a menu for people to "fill in the blanks" with great success. I guess you can say that I have a lot on my plate while in THE GARDEN STATE!!!! We'll be back to "PARADISE" New Year's Eve and ready to party hardy!!!!

Animal Kingdom
John and I went up to Disney this past Friday to visit the Leahy's while they were on vacation. We spent Friday relaxing by the pool, followed by dinner and a fun time of shopping at the Marketplace. We got up early Saturday and spent all day at Animal Kingdom. We had an early dinner and hit the road to get back home late Saturday night. We had a GREAT TIME!!!!!!!
