We had a nice long vacation to FL to see all of our family for Christmas, but it sure felt like a whirlwind trip!  We caught up with just about everyone and spent lots of quality family time with all of the grandparents.  M learned some new words: No, Please, Get Down . . .
We ate at or got take out from some of our old favorites.  We had a quick visit to the beach.  The weather was beautiful, and allowed us to eat several meals outside, but we didn’t do any swimming.  It just wasn’t hot enough to warrant needing to cool down in the pool.  Miss M and my mom did a lot of walking up and down the street.  M did not do a lot of sleeping.  Not sure if it was teething or just being away from home, but she seems to like being back in her own bed now.  Thank you to all the friends and family that adjusted their schedules and made some time to hang with us – we really appreciate it and loved seeing you!  To those we missed this time – we hope to see you very soon!
