Friends and Family Across the Pond

We are so excited to be here in England! We have gotten to catch up and meet so many new faces for the fist time. Nana and Grandad had some family over the first weekend we were there. We were so excited to meet our cousin Kian for the first time. We are about a month and a half older than him so he will be a great playmate everytime we go to England. We also got to spend some time with our friend Ollie. His dad Stuart and our dad used to play football together when they were yonger. Lastly we got to meet Charlotte Nelsen. Charlotte's mum and our mum were friend's in Tampa. We have already started arguing who gets to date her first!

Off to England for the holidays!

We are off to England for Christmas! The flight over was great fun. We drove over to Orlando and flew direct to Manchester, England. We thought we'd give mum and dad a break and behave most of the flight. Unfortunately we only had one skycot when we got on the plane. We flipped a coin for it and Beckett won. I had to sleep on mum's lap the whole time. Although everytime the 'fasten your seatbelts' light came on, dad had to fetch Beckett out of the skycot. It was kind of annoying. Many of the Virgin air hostesses to a fancy to us. They all looked so pretty in their long red coats. When we got to England no one told us that our strollers which we left planeside in Orlando, would now have to be picked up at baggage claim, so mum and dad had to carry us along with two backpacks, a diaperbag and a suitcase through customs. Thankfully Nana, Grandad, Uncle Andrew and Scott were waiting for us on the otherside of customs to help take us and our three checked bags and two car seats back to Preston!
