Steelers and More


Ready for the Steeler game last Sunday. It wasn't on TV, but I listened to it and updated the girls! Thanks for the new jersey Grandma and Pap!


This glorified cardboard box is what Layne picked out for Hayden for Christmas this year. They love it! And they can color as they play!!

Back to running. It actually helps with the nausea and sensitivity to smells and foods! The cool weather is great too. Just going to keep it between 2-5 miles every other day. It's nice to get back into running...pace is a little slower though :)

Last Days in the Sunshine State


One day we went to Gulf Port to see Sep and Morgan's new place and they took us out to breakfast! They live in such a cute little part of town....loved it! Here we are walking to the docks.

We hung out at their place for a while. We were all entertained by the Wii!! And of course little Layner.

Assisting the girls with the Wii. They loved MarioKart.

Their neighbor has an orange tree. So, for snack daddy picked them an orange!

Then we were off to Snoballs. Hayden had one of their seasonal flavors-peppermint snowflake!

Layner had an old time favorite....sharks blood (I think).


I had the Pirates Treasure which is unreal. Jerm and Johnny had a stuffed caramel apple which was SO GOOD!

SO COLD......but I must finish!

On our last night we all went out to The Olive Garden and had a delicious meal together! Totally worth the 45 minute wait.

Back to Pappy's place for more Wii.....

Pooped!

Semi-Annual Cookie Decorating





The adults had a cookie decorating contest. There were make shift piping bags, forks, toothpicks, and many more tools used in the process.



All of the entrants. That nigh we went over to dad and Melody's for dinner. We then awarded prizes in different areas. I can't remember all of the categories, I do remember that my stocking won Best Overall!!

Christmas in Florida


This year we are spending Christmas in Florida with Pappy, Melody, Johnny, Mwende, September, and Morgan. Here are the girls just enjoying the nice warm weather on Pappy's front porch.

The other day on our way to the beach we stopped by September and Morgan's house to pick some grapefruit. I have never seen grapefruit so big! They have a huge back yard with two grapefruit trees and maybe even an avocado tree too!

Then it was off to the beach. I didn't bring suits with us because I thought that it would be too cold for them to swim that day. So, instead we just stripped them down to their undies!

I have no idea what nut ball is doing here. Maybe it's her impression of a sea gull taking flight.

The water was ice cold so the girls just did a lot of digging in the sand.

Wet toes is as far as we got!

Pappy and the girlies

Lastly, we thought that it would be a great idea to pile sand on our bums.

Yesterday Johnny and Mwende brought over a gingerbread house kit!

We all sat  around the table and put it together. Some (Johnny) were a little messier about the decoration that others.

We had a major flaw in the foundation right from the start. Somebody (same person as mentioned above) turned the side boards of the house the wrong way during building. And none of us caught it!! He even trimmed the two side pieces so that they would fit that way! Oh well, it's Florida so it's an open air house!

Grandma made the girls these Hello Kitty hats and mittens! 

Pink for Hayden and purple for Layner. 

Mac had lots of gifts to open too! 


By the end of the day Roxy was so sleepy!
