We had a nice visit with Casey, Garrett, Tracy and Stan the week before Christmas. We celebrated Christmas at Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom's house with Aunt Kelly, Great Uncle Mike, Great Aunt Jeannie and Cousins Alli and Davis. We also visited with Great Aunt Jenny, Great Uncle Carlton and Cousins Valeria, Liam and Alex. The kids had a great holiday season and between Hannukah and Christmas they collected a lot of loot. Santa brought the kids the skateboards they asked for and we got them a Wii. Due to the weather, the Wii has been a bigger hit than the skateboards.
After Christmas, we headed down to Florida for our annual visit. We spent a bit of time with Cousin Steph before she went back to New York and then spent the week with Bubbie, Great Aunt Donna and Great Uncle Stephen. While in Florida, the kids did three mornings of golf camp and spent lots of time at the pool. We also spent a day at the beach with Grandpa Maurice and then visited with Grandma Phyllis. We also had a chance to have dinner with Great Uncle Jerry, Great Aunt Eve and Cousins Derek and Graeme who were in Florida for a visit.
After a rockin' New Years' Eve (Lily and I made it to midnight) - Marcy went to bed first, followed by Jack who almost made to midnight - we flew home for a school day and back to the regular schedule. Lily and Jack have been back to swimming and other activities and all has returned to regularly scheduled programming. It was a great three weeks!
Here are some pics ...
