Holiday Time

 We arrived home from our travels and wanted to spend as much time with Daddy as possible.  We had a few warms days right when we got back and did yard work before the snow fell.  Very soon we were shoveling, making Christmas presents, seeing Santa and both downhill and cross country skiing.  It has been a great December.  Spending time as our little family before the new member arrives.

East Coast Grandparents Visit II

The second set of great photos taken on our awesome vacation.  You don't see Daddy in any because he stayed home while the girls traveled east.  We wanted to make sure we saw the family and traveled before baby brother arrives.  It was nice to go early in December and be home as a family in Flagstaff for the holidays.

East Coast Grandparents Part I

On the plane with her My Pretty Pony baby. (plane surprise)
 This is round one of pictures from our double grandparents visit.  We went back in early December to see both sets, one in Georgia and the other in Florida.  A whirlwind trip, but filled with so many activities.  While in Flowery Branch we cooked, gardened, went for walks in the red wagon, visited the AMAZING Atlanta Aquarium, got into our jammies early and saw the Festival of Lights and just had a great time.

Then onto Naples, Florida were we had another few days of great weather.  We spent most of our time at the beach and some in the pool.  Besides our big event, the beach, riding the pony Jellybean was a huge, huge event. 

Overall we had such an amazing time!  Margaret didn't nap the entire time we were gone.  Just too many things to do I guess.  Stay tuned for the second set of photos.
