Best New Years Ever! We took our boat out in the Ocean to watch the fireworks off the Pier. We were able to feel the fireworks reverberation through the water, when they blasted off and hear their echo off the houses. The fireworks were huge right over our heads. So amazing and beautiful! Then we went home and put the kids to bed and played some games with friends. Perfect way to bring in the New Year!
We did a really fun hike through a panther reserve and saw some tracks to prove it. The kids were in heaven.
Glad as I can be! These kids love having Daddy out of school, done with finals and all to themselves!
Christmas morning was spent opening stockings and gifts. The rest of the day we spent at the beach. Our new family tradition(at least while we are in Florida).
Christmas Tree is decorated and so are the Gingerbread Men, we are ready for Christmas!
Grammie and Grampie made their rounds for Christmas and we were first on the list. I guess that is the benefit of living in paradise. We did lots of fun things as usual, we are so blessed! First stop was the Beach of course. We also went to the Explora kids museum which was so fun!
Such a perfect day and a wonderful visit! Thank you Grammie and Grampie, we love you and Merry Christmas.
Art is great at giving the kids showers and keeping them clean. They have some long winter hair going on as you can see. 
We went to Barefoot beach this morning. A little cooler than normal but lots of treasures as usual.
