Christmas Time

Wow! Time really got away from me during Christmas time and I have a lot to record. In December we went to our annual tradition we have started here in Florida, by going to St Augustine to ride the Holly Jolly Trolley, and see the whole town lit up with Christmas lights. Pictures can not capture how beautiful it truly is with all the lights. The children just love to ride the trolley. The weather was perfect! KaeLynn was the only one who wanted to take a picture with Santa. Daniel would not do it! He just wanted to run around with his friends. I couldn't even get a picture of him. Linden did great for having to stay up so late. 

 During Christmas break we had beautiful weather. We spent a lot of time out doors. My kids just love to get wet and dirty. Especially Linden loves the dirt. No matter how much I tried, he would not stop putting sand in his mouth.

Cavan and and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary and my 31st birthday. 

On Christmas Eve we got together with our friends the Hughes and decorated gingerbread houses. They also made us delicious orange chicken and a beef and broccoli dish. 

Finally Christmas morning came. This was our first Christmas with our little Linden. We had a wonderful morning with our kids and then a great Christmas dinner with my mom. 

Also during the break we took our friends to go see the manatees at Blue Springs park. They come in from the river during the winter months. We saw lots of little baby manatees. They are adorable!
