Santa 2013

The kids first saw Santa at Gaylord Palms when we went to see the ICE exhibit.  Peyton actually wanted to see him and ended up on his lap and he picked her up.  The pictures were precious, however they make you buy at least the $50 package.  No thank you!  So, to get a picture I took the kids to Bass Pro Shops to see Santa again.  Peyton was not as excited this time as you can see below.  She ended up standing next to him, but that's as good as it got.

FSU Homecoming - Part 3 - The Surprise Tailgate Baby Shower

Chad and Kristin are having a little boy.  Since they live 7 hours away we decided that a little tailgate baby shower would be perfect.  We love to celebrate our friends' babies!  Two Sweets Bake Shop here in Orlando hooked me up with the cutest and yummiest FSU themed treats.  The necklaces are made out of real gum balls!

It says Jameson.  I think a lot of people thought we were celebrating Jameis Winston, but Jameson will be the name of their son.

FSU Homecoming Weekend - Part 1 - Parade and Site Seeing

We really look forward to Homecoming Weekend at FSU.  It's become something that a lot of our friends do with their kids.  This will be the last year that we take only Hunter.  Peyton will get to come next year.  We went to the parade on Friday and then went over and saw all the sports trophies and even got to tour the new indoor practice field.  The guys thought that was pretty darn cool.

Sebastian Inlet Camping - Part 2 of 2

We had so much fun doing these silhouette pictures.  All you need is a tripod, a remote timer, and a gorgeous sunset.  Luckily, we had all three!

Sebastian Inlet Camping - Part 1 of 2

Back in October the kids had a 4 day weekend so we planned a camping trip not too far away in Sebastian Inlet.  The Pearson Family rented a camper and joined us.  For 4 days the kids played outside, road their bikes, explored and climbed trees.  At night they watched a movie, but that was the only other entertainment they had.  It was a fantastic little getaway and even more enjoyable with friends in tow.
