Papa and Grammie love

This was the day we left Florida after 2 weeks of visiting.  The girls didn’t want to go back home!

Gainesville visit

We enjoyed our time in Gainesville!  The weather was warm and finally sunny to get outside.  We enjoyed a "Sara Princess” cake for my birthday, lots of cousin time and a trip to the Sante Fe zoo. 

Christmas at the Cellon’s

After Christmas at the Patterson’s, we enjoyed Christmas at the Cellon’s with cousins.  Such fun!  (4 girls 4 and under :)).

Pin the nose….

on Rudolph.  We might have just started and annual tradition….. :)

Christmas Day 2011

 

We enjoyed a great Christmas day at my parent’s house.  For the first time both girls were old enough to get “santa”.   We enjoyed leaving Santa milk and cookies, setting up the presents and stockings for in the morning.  The girls were astounded when they awoke and kept saying “this is SO perfect!”.  They loved all their presents and enjoyed spending time with everyone so much (we did too!). 

Crestview Visit

We had a good visit to Crestview the week before Christmas! We arrived on my birthday and I was taken out to one of my favorite places, Song’s Korean. I was able to get full day of outlet shopping in, Blair went fishing with my dad and Blair and I went out with some friends sans kiddos! Here are a few other highlights:

Fishing! The girls have their own poles at my parent’s house and enjoyed fishing several afternoons with Daddy! No catches this year for them though….

Living Nativity

We had a great time visiting the Living Nativity at church last Sunday.  It was very chilly!  The girls loved seeing baby Jesus and the camels:)

 

 

Bailey’s Preschool Christmas Program

Bailey had her Christmas Program today!  It was so fun to be able to be there as a family (so thankful Daddy was able to be there too!).  Here is Daddy and Tales looking for Bailey (notice they have the exact same eyes/ facial expressions!!!!)

Family Pictures Fall 2011

My talented friend, Amy Grimme took these pics a few weeks ago!  I can not tell you how nice it is to have Blair home for the holidays to be able to use one of these for our Christmas Cards :).   I look forward to framing several of these soon!
