Chrismas '09 in Florida

The Dean family made our annual "road trip" to Florida for Christmas. We had an awesome time with our families! Jake traveled so well in the car and handled it great. The dogs did great too! We went to the beach a number of times and Jake loved it. He kept walking right into the ocean with no fear. He also loved playing with the sand and chasing the seagulls. We got to visit our favorite Sarasota restaurant, "Philipi Creek" and enjoyed Oysters, Garlic Shrimp, Grouper sandwich and Coronas...the usual for the Truitt family. :) We also had a great time with the Deans and enjoyed the beach as well. We got to see the family for the Christmas party and that was wonderful. We spent Christmas eve and Christmas Day with the Dean's Grandparents and had a wonderful time. Jake really enjoyed the Chrismtas tree, climbing on the presents, his antlers, and especially, all of his new toys and books! He loves spending time with his family. Big thanks to Uncle Mike for letting us stay at his house and in his room. He is quite a guy. :) We stopped in Tallahassee on the way back, very early in the morning, and I got a picture in front of my old dorm, Gilchrist, and with the Bobby Bowden statue. We then stayed in Mississippi for New Years and were asleep by 10pm. Party on! We feel so blessed to have such an amazing family and the most beautiful boy, Jacob.
