We're in Florida for Christmas with my family (finally made it here last Sunday after 3 days of blizzard driving, more to come on that later).
We are LOVING seeing everybody. There just isn't enough time. Now I know how my Texas family feels when we get to see them. The visits are NEVER long enough. My precious nieces are growing so fast. Everything they do, every move they make and every word that comes out of their mouths is FASCINATING. You should see the crowd of grown adults that sits around and watches toddlers. Hilarious. Love them. I wish you could just freeze time and not lose those moments.
It's WARM here. I do not enjoy that part, makes me love my new Jersey home even more. I'm a cold weather girl for sure. Keith of course is super happy, he loves the warm, humid air.
Merry Christmas to all!!

Snow Story #1
With the first snow came the first (of many I'm sure) funny snow stories (thus labeled snow story #1).
Keith and I decided to "venture" out and drive to dinner even though it was snowing, and snowing hard no less. We picked a place that was relatively close, laced up our "snow boots", and braved the weather. We walked out to the car (picture Heidi jumping up and down and talking about how she "lovessss it" and Keith making bad faces), and got in. We sat there for a few minutes letting 0ur fancy heated seats warm up, until Keith quit swearing about how cold it was, then Keith turned on the windshield wipers....
Nothing happened.
Keith tried again...
Nothing happened.
"What the heck is wrong with the windshield wipers??" Keith asks.
I started laughing because I realized the windshield wipers were FINE, they just couldn't function because we didn't think to scrape our windshield first, and the snow was SO thick and heavy on the window that it wouldn't allow the wipers to move, much less wipe the windows. HAHAHAHAH
Oops!
First trip before dinner was made at a grocery store where they sold scrapers. ;)

King of the Castle
We had a beautiful weekend and we tried to enjoy it even though Keith was gone. Here is the "king of the castle", surveying the kingdom (his yard). Note the SAD SAD face he makes. He's tethered to a tree because we don't have a fence (actually he's tied to a rope between two trees like a run, don't let him fool you).
