December 2011

What a fun Holiday season we had this year. One of the best things about living in South Florida is the Holiday season. For the most part, it's never too cold to go anywhere and between Thanksgiving and Christmas we have the best outdoor events. We had our local town's Winter Festival, Christmas @ Yesteryear Village, The Enchanted Forest @ Hoffmans Chocolates plus Christams parades in almost all of the bigger towns.



This year we had a vistor from Thanksgiving until Christmas eve. Joey the Elf on the Shelf has joined our family. Joey arrived on our front door step a couple of days after Thanksgiving to watch over Cody and report back to Santa every night, then returns to our house and hides every morning before Cody woke up. We had alot of fun with this. Every morning Cody would get very excited to go find where Joey was hiding. It was super cute to watch him.... The one thing... nobody can touch the elf or he will lose his magic!

Christmas was so much fun this year with a 2 1/2 year old. He is really starting to understand what it all means and loved ALL the Christmas cartoons and carols. He is still singing Jingle Bells today. I tried to take every moment and memory in as I know in just a few short years my little boys will begin to turn a bigger boy and all the stories will be just a bit different.
