New Year Rewind...

For the New Year celebration we decided to go away for a few days to St. Pete Beach.  It was a bit chilly, but we decided to brave the beach when we first got there.

 We also headed to the Clearwater Aquarium to check out the fish and Winter the dolphin.

After we walk Marley in the morning, we have been

 taking rides around the neighborhood on bikes and scooters.

 Bryn has also been very into dressing up and wanted to ride

 around the neighborhood as Tinkerbell.  So cute and fun!

I tried to take some 3 year pictures of Bryn..this is how it went...

 silly faces

 won't look at me

 spinning and laughing

 climbing on the playlet

 on the move

 beautiful girl!

Bresnan is 11 months old!

 He stands all the time.  He walks along furniture but doesn't have the confidence to try walking on his own. Maybe by one, but I am not holding my breath!

happy boy

Our Very Merry Christmas

Our Christmas season seems to be so busy (isn't everyone's)!  It starts the day 

after Bryn's birthday, and then we have Brian's birthday and this year we decided 

to go to several of the nearby attractions.  We started with Sea World!

 They have Christmas trees in the lake and the lights dance to different songs.

 Bryn's request of a picture by the big tree

 Another Bryn request - going into the large snow globe, which was really a sauna!

 We got to meet Elmo after his Christmas show

 She loved these snowmen all around the park

Then we went to a few parks at Disney.  This was the best one of us and the castle!

We had a quick photo shoot one morning.  These were our Christmas card photos.

 They look a lot alike here!

Christmas morning was great.  Bryn was excited all day long, but she 

did get so into unwrapping that when she had opened everything she 

was disappointed and forgot to be excited about her new things!

 We woke him up, you can tell his was thrilled to look in his stocking!

 She wanted scissors to get the ribbons off

 Getting in the mix

 Let's build something!

It was cold enough that we could have a fire in our fireplace.

Gotta love her saggy "Ellen" underwear!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas season!
