Robert and I got married 15 years ago today! We’ve gone from two…
to three…
to four…
and to five!
Gosh, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Grateful for 15 years of a life well lived and hoping for 50 more together! I love you Robert!
Naples
After Christmas we headed down to Naples for some rest, relaxation and sunshine! Despite a delayed flight out of Bham, we made it to Ft. Myers with no problems mainly thanks to a full speed sprint through the Atlanta airport! Phew! The kids were happy to get to open some more Christmas gifts…especially when those gifts consisted of cleverly wrapped cold hard cash!
Leave it to GJ – she’s the best!
We didn’t get to to go to the beach while we were down there. It’s still being put back together after the hurricane, but that didn’t bother us!
Gary the Gator even came by to say hi!
We did enjoy some dinners out…
and tried some new foods!
But consumed lots of chicken fingers and fries too! ha! We also did a little shopping…
and made cookies, of course.
As always, the trip was too short and we can’t wait to go back!
See you again soon GJ!
Christmas morning
Excitement was high at 6am! I thought we had set a “no earlier than” time of 6:30 but they were all up and ready to go by 6am so…Santa time! Maxwell had even already showered…gotta get that hair looking good for pics of course. 😉
They were happy to see that Santa came!
There were some pretty fun surprises included!
Everyone had fun checking out all of their Santa haul…
Robert and I both managed to surprise each other…a grill and Gucci! Merry Christmas!
The kids then to open the presents from us. Boys first…
Yeeess! Tickets to see the Heat play the Lakers in Miami! Then it was Samantha’s turn…
A Taylor Swift t-shirt! Yay! but wait…an envelope?!
Tickets to see Taylor Swift in concert in Atlanta! Woohoo!!
We had some happy little elves Christmas morning. They were also happy because no one had to rush to clean up their stuff because we weren’t hosting Christmas lunch! That made me a happy elf too! We tried out new Christmas gifts…
took time checking out all of our gifts…
and enjoyed pancakes cooked by Maxwell!
A very merry Christmas morning!
Almost Christmas
After all the parties were over, it was almost time for Christmas! We had Feliz Navidad nachos on the 23rd…
and enjoyed a blazing fire when the temps dropped to the single digits!!
On Christmas Eve we had lunch at the club…
So happy we got this picture outside even though it was maybe 20 degrees! Thank goodness it was sunny!
and then went to the 5pm service at church where Maxwell acolyted.
Steaks for dinner, cookies for Santa, and then off to bed!
It’s almost Christmas!
Gingerbread House
After making our own candy house at home, we also decorated gingerbread houses up at the club. My crew was looking festive and fun!
And they did a great job on their houses…
and definitely loved hanging with their buddies.
The icing on the gingerbread house? This family photo that Diana took of us! Makes me happy!!
Merry Christmas!
