These are out of order...but lets see if I can keep the details with the pictures straight....
Dave graduated the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department's Recruit school right before Christmas. His parents were able to come and spend a whole week with us before McKenna and I left for Oklahoma for Christmas.
We are all so very proud of the hard work Dave put into his schooling! His parents mentioned this was the 5th graduation for Dave that they've been a part of: High school, Navy boot camp, college, St. Johns County Fire School, and now Jax! Dave is such a pro and makes it look super easy ;o) Our friends Josh and Aubrey also came to support Dave. Josh is also works with JFRD and has been a HUGE help to Dave.
Chris and Tim were fellow fire fighters from when Dave worked with St. Johns County. Chris transferred to JFRD with Dave and Tim still works at Dave's old station.
We had a small congratulatory after party with some good friends and yummy cake!
As a last "Hoo-ra" the recruit class repelled off of the Jaguar Stadium downtown! Dave admitted he was a tad nervous...but he made it down safe and sound and was pumped!
It was a neat thing to be able to watch!
Christmas Eve we were able to go to our church's service as a family.
Fun in the back yard with Gran and Papaw...
Fun at the park too...
and the Zoo!!!!
Our little diva got a kitchen, food, pots and pans, a broom/dust pan, and a swiffer mop for Christmas. I'm hoping she doesn't "outshine" her mommy when it comes to being domestic.
