Christmas Morning

Wake Up...It's Christmas Morning!

Opening Presents

New Toys

Testing out the new toys.

Watching the surfers

The few days following Christmas were not so warm, but we still went to the beach to watch some of the family attempt to surf.

Joel surfing

Joel attempted to surf. We watched.

Where's Jamie?

Seashell Hunting

Looking for shells is a good thing to do on an overcast day.

Under the Pier

Hanging out under the pier.

Grandpa V.

Not sure what they are looking at. A kite?

King of the Mountain

The sun is back out!

David and the kids stayed a week longer than I did...the day before I left the sun came out again and they had great weather for a few more days.

Grandma V.

Dawson warming up with Grandma V.

Goofy Kids

Apparently after I leave, things like arm biting & walking around in a diaper and sunglasses with a pacifier start to happen. They seemed to enjoy themselves though.

Florida Sunset

Watching the sunset from the balcony.

Christmas with the Oele Side

The kids patiently awaiting their presents.

Christmas With the Cousins

Dawson and Jamie with their 10 cousins on the Oele side.

Another Christmas

We had numerous Christmas celebrations, with both sides of the family...and here Dawson is at home opening more presents.

December Wedding

Congrats to Keri and Derek who were married on Dec. 8. (Sorry to Derek, who I failed to get a picture of with Keri. I was much more concerned about getting this picture because it is a tradition.)

Red Wings

We went to a Red Wings game last week with a couple of my co-workers. (David was there too...he just didn't want to be in the picture.)

Ready for Winter

Jamie is ready for winter.
