Holiday Lights 2013

There is a house not far from us that overflows with inflatable holiday love. This year, H, Pablo and I(3.5 years old) ventured out on Christmas to see the display.

Singer Island 2014

We opted for an early holiday break this winter and went to Singer Island so we could be on the beach and the kiddos could enjoy time in the sand. It was fun to get a glimpse at what their reaction to the sand would be when we were at Tybee last month. Miss H came with us and proved to be a professional sand castle builder!

On the way home, I remembered to get lollipops and it was fun to watch N(14 mos) enjoy his first one. And yes, that’s me cracking up at the end.

Snow in Florida

We ventured to City Place to meet up with our cousins for a Florida snowfall before dinner. I(3.5) had a great time with his cousins and the snow.

Animal County Safari

My parents assured me that I have been here, although I can’t recall. Mom said that Dad used to roll the windows down and touch the animals. Not something you can do now.

While the car ride was fun, I think the boys liked the park better and not necessarily the animals. Although, the turtles were highly entertaining.

I(3.5) insisted on taking this one. Not too bad…but the finger….

Pablo was hysterical at the “Boy” turtles who exert their dominance over others:

Morikami Gardens

We met up with our cousins at the Morikami Gardens, where Pablo and I were married just 8 years earlier. My how time flies. It was fun to see all the sites with both kiddos. And yes, that’s my kid on Budda’s head.

Mr. N was walking around with Miss H on the other side of the park and finally passed out by the waterfalls.

We loved seeing Cousin N+R and hope to see them again soon!

Jupiter Island Animals

During our Florida visit, we took a morning drive to visit some animals. I(3.5) had a great time watching the Florida Panthers, but not so much when one of them ran full speed at him. Thankfully, the fence kept the Panther inside.

There was a great playground next to a bagel shop that we stopped at for breakfast each morning. Complete with a climbing wall, shade and a slide for N too!

Feeding N

Love when these kiddos work together. This was a first, I(3.5) offered to feed his brother.

Lighting the Menorah

The Outlets in Woodstock had a build the Menorah with Legos festival and we joined our cousins for the event. Amazing how each family had a row they contributed to and then at the end, we lit it up and had latkes together!

Thankfully N(1 yr) didn’t try to put his tongue on the pole. Christmas Story!

Gingerbread Fun

N(4) slept over and we picked up a gingerbread house at Target to decorate. The boys had a great time! And yes, probably more sugar went into their mouths than on the house.
