It's D-Day!!!!!

First I must wish everyone a be-lated Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year, etc!

  It was wonderful for us, and as always better then I had hoped.....except between Christmas and New Year a lovely stomach bug attacked the Keenan house....all but Chad and Kaya got it, so that was fun.  Oh yeah, as we all felt better about week later a head cold set in to many of us, that's why I'm a little late on the "Happy New Year!"  But trust me I was thinking of the blog world, just couldn't stomach (he he) getting on the computer.

Alrighty what is D-Day, you ask???  We are going to Florida this morning!!!!

Brayden Brayden is playing in the World Championship 3v3 tournament in Disney this coming up weekend.  So we're making a family vacation out of it and doing the Disney thing!  Everyone is excited!!!

Our schedule:

  Today- going to the Pickney's house, staying with them tonight.  These are our friends who moved in the beginning of the summer so the kids (and us parents) are happy to see them soon.

Wednesday - driving to Orlando.  Having dinner at Bob Marley's restaurant...the whole family is so excited about this one.  We can't wait for Kaya Calamari.

Thursday -Disney Hollywood Studios.  All I have to say is they have a special Star Wars thing....anyone who knows us (me) closely knows I cannot wait for this...no worries I won't be dressed up like anyone, but I will know ALL the characters and story lines.

Friday - Magic Kingdom, everyone cannot wait to see Karstyn's face.  My kids really are the sweetest and most thoughtful.  We were telling the kids in the weeks leading up to Christmas we didn't think we'd be doing the "Disney" thing in Florida...money, etc.  (really we wanted them to be excited and understand the gift of Disney.)  The kids told Chad and I that they wanted to put their money together and buy Karstyn a ticket, 'because she needs to go see it."  I'm not sure who was going in the park with her, but she had to go.  So sweet, it was one of those moments where you're fighting back tears.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday - tournament days, playing in the ESPN World Wide Sports Complex!!!  Chad is so cute, he's having dreams/nightmare about the tournament.  Brayden plays on a U8 team, and the boys are all pretty small.  He dreamed the other night that their first opponents were boys bigger then Bryson,  from Russia, and had no birth certificates.  He's such a good Dad.  He's not a dreamer or at least doesn't remember them in the morning.  Except when the kids have something big coming up, then he has these vivid 'scary' dreams.  Poor guy.  

So our plan is to update the blog from Florida.  But my brother-in-law, who is the best at updating his blog, doesn't even do it on his trips to Florida/Disney....so I'm thinking we'll update when we get back.

Wish us luck!
