Florida...

So right after Christmas with both families (and you may have noticed I skipped right over Christmas pictures- that's because all the pics I took are on my mom's camera and I need to get those!... to come later!) we headed off to Florida...

It was a nightmare of a trip there- 13 hours total travel time (and we FLEW!) Typically our Reese is Mr. Mellow, but by the time we arrived into FL around 11 pm, he was an absolute MESS to say the least. This is the following morning when he woke up and walked with his blankie to the door leading to the pool at our rental house. Maybe he was deciding it had all been worth it?? :)


Then the weather wasn't super, so Autumn and I tried to come up with ways to keep the kiddos (ages 6, 5, 4, 2, 1) entertained.... an indoor play place was just the ticket!...

And Aunt Pat took us to a super fun restaurant where we got to make s'mores right at the table! The kids were totally into it as you can imagine...

Josh got Emma golf clubs for her birthday, but this was the first time they had gotten to use them... until a grumpy old ranger told her she wasn't allowed to play. I think she enjoyed it anyway and loved spending time with Grammie Bev, Mark, Sarah & Aunt Pat on the course!

And we did get about ONE hour on the boat during the whole 10 days... here are Asher and Winnie enjoying the sun that we wouldn't see again for quite a while!...

Makin Cookies



We had our little friends Macy, Makenna and Kai over for an evening of babysitting... during bedtime! I knew it would be an adventure and we would need some activities, so the girls made cookies together. They did a great job putting all the ingredients in... AND sampling to be sure they were ok. ;)

Christmas Program



Wow- it's been too long on blogging... but our camera charger was MIA and we finally got our new one in the mail. We were depending on friends and family for pics for a while, so thanks to Emerson's mom, we have these precious pics from Emma's school Christmas program. They looked so adorable and Emma was so proud of their hard work learning signs and playing instruments for the Christmas songs they sang. Everyone was invited afterward to eat cookies in their classroom... so sweet!
