Christmas Break Fun!

Day four of break - Miami, FL


We had dinner with our TALL NYC cousin Erik, Katie and Lynn downtown.  It was super fun to catch up!


Day three of break - Hollywood, FL


We hooked up with one of Mom's college Om girls, Flowers, and her hubby Chris.  We had lunch at Margarittaville on Hollywood beach.



We spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach.  Hard to believe the rest of the country is in a deep freeze!


Day two of break - Biking trails at Markum Park

Christmas 2017


Short but fun Christmas visit with Hommie and Dabi!  We went to the 7 PM Christmas Eve candle light service at church.  Here is our fancy picture.


We had a great time making cookies for our Girl Scout holiday party on the 23rd.  Thanks Grandma Ann and Emma for the recipe.  The cookies were a hit with the Girl Scouts and Santa!


Here's our fancy troop.



On Christmas Eve we picked up our Christmas stone crabs at Joe's Stone Crab in South Beach and then stopped by the CG Base Miami to enjoy the views.  It was very sunny!!!



Our traditional reading of the Night Before Christmas.  We had to make time adjustments for our cousins who are living in Spain this year.


After church we decorated cookies while watching Polar Express.  We are ready for Santa.


Christmas morning!!!  The Fiesta Bowl this year pits UW, Mom's grad school vs PSU, Dad's law school.  Mom gave ALMOST all of us UW shirts to wear for game day.


Night time porch silly faces.  


Playing the game "Hearing Things" tooo funny!
