Christmas 2012

This year we spent Christmas in Florida.

Rough life, huh?

Curt's parents recently moved and we love the new location and home.

This post is going to be a little Des heavy on the pictures.  

What can I say, I think he's cute.

Des loved the baby grand piano at the grandparent's house...

...and getting to know all of his aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc...

{he pronounces Megan as "Bacon", hilarious}

...he figured out this whole present thing...

{Des with his new xylophone, which he calls his "iphone".  Again, this kid cracks me up}

...Evie enjoyed the festivities also, obviously...

Des thought great grandpa Hogie was really awesome, all based on his mad basketball twirling skills.

If you look closely this picture caught Des mid "oooh". 

...we had some cousin bonding time, Des and Riley are only 4 months apart...

We went to the beach.

Oh yes, the weather was in the 80s.  So gorgeous.

{and yet, the Floridians are wearing sweaters, as demonstrated by Shauna below}

We got the car washed.

Which is a big deal because you can't really do that in the winter in Michigan.

Our car was so, so crusty.

But then looked so, so nice.

And then we drove home to many inches of snow on our lawn. bleh.

But, it was a good trip and a safe drive to and from...I am very thankful.
