Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Back to Naples and more glorious days at the beach! The kids are of the age now where they can play happily on their own and I don’t have to worry about anyone drowning, eating sand, or trying to run away down the beach! Freedom! Heaven! I was more than happy to sit in my chair and take pictures of them having fun. Robert still gets roped into football…but I don’t think he minds too much! 🙂
This is the life!
Love my crew!!
We love Naples!
After Robert found out Alabama would be playing in the Orange Bowl while we were in Naples it was too good of an opportunity to pass up so he got us some tickets and we made the easy 2 hour drive over to Miami for the game. We planned it out and were able to have lunch at Houston’s! Woohoo!
The game was really fun – even more so because Alabama was leading from the very first play!
We had fantastic seats, good weather, and pleasant seat mates! Win Win all around!
The only downside was trying to get an Uber after the game. We had to walk probably 2 miles to and then it was a madhouse of people looking for their ride. But we made it back to the hotel and were so glad we went.
The kids were having plenty of fun back in Naples…
even if the boys weren’t able to make it to the very end of the game!
Very thankful we made the trip to the Orange Bowl instead of heading out to Cali a week later! What a bummer of a game. As Robert said, “We’ll get him next year!” Roll Tide!
By Christmas Eve the kids had already gotten several fun Christmas presents so that morning there were tea parties to be had…
Barbie houses to be put together…
and Legos to be built!
We then put on our holiday finest for church!
The kids wanted to sit in the balcony and after having listened to Samantha complain about how she couldn’t see at the boys’ Christmas concert at school, I thought the front row of the balcony sounded like a great idea. Perfect viewing for all!
That night we got the cookies and milk ready and did our best to sleep – visions of sugarplums and all!
Merry merry indeed!
The Saturday before Christmas we were all dressed up – with someplace to go!
Some friends of ours invited us to one of the deb balls in town and it was a fun excuse to get fancy and go out for the night. We enjoyed seeing all the decorations at MB Club where we had dinner…
and all the decorations at Birmingham Country Club where the ball was!
A fun and fancy night on the town with friends!
Merry merry!
Like father, like daughter…
and, holy smokes! TWINS!
See you next week!
