We had a very busy but wonderful Christmas. My mom and her husband came down from Tallahassee to celebrate with us. The kids had lots of fun (how could they not really). We also had a great winter break from school. Here are some of the highlights...
B&L at a "Birthday Party for Jesus"
Lily and her new BFF...a pink poodle wearing a tutu that she named Fancy Nancy.
Lily was Mary in her school play this year. She was so excited and, besides carrying baby Jesus upside down, she did a great job!
The Bowmans were in Tampa for a wedding so we met Kim and Summer half way one day for lunch. Kim and I are always finding ourselves in these strange places sharing an adventure together and this was no different. After lunch we went to a park to play and ended up in the middle of a battle reenactment...don't ask. I thought this was just something that started happening when we moved away from Colorado until I recently came across some pictures of our "last hurrah" in Denver together. We went to the world's largest laundromat and took pictures of all the kids inside one of the dryers. So, I guess the strange adventures aren't really anything new for us.
Bryce and his friend showing me their newly acquired tango skills.
Matt's coworkers at the company Holiday party.
Matt ran the Disney marathon again this year (his third). He did great and, as usual, we had lots of fun. His brother, sister-in-law, and nephew happened to be in Orlando as well so they were able to cheer him on as he crossed the finish line. I'm trying to convince Matt to do some other races (gives us an excuse to travel!) so if you have any good races near you let him know. Maybe adding in some visits with friends will spur him on to do it!
The day after the marathon Matt left for the UK for 10 days, then came home for 4 days and is now in Paris and Brussels for another 8 days. So, I've had my hands full around here. We miss daddy lots but are surviving! Until next time...
