New Years Eve & New Years Day

Well we made it back to Florida the 30th of December. It was way nice that Doug didn't have to go immediately back to school like he has in the past. We had a few days to settle back in our groove & enjoy the New Year.

For New Year's Eve we decided to celebrate by going out to dinner with our friends Devin & Lisa. We figured being a holiday we should/could go somewhere nicer than Red Robin. Haha! So we went to Cheesecake Factory. I personally love finding any reason possible to go to there. :)

 Gavin & Tyn playing on the fountain. They were so happy to see each other! I just love this picture. They are such cheesers!  It's not often that you get eyes forward & smiles & holding still with one kid let alone two!

 My standard entree order....Caramel Chicken with mashed potatoes. I know I've said this before, but Steph is the one who introduced this heavenly goodness to me & now every time one of us orders it we have to snap a pic & text each other to gloat that we are enjoying a piece of heaven. I just wish we could enjoy it together. :( 

 Even little Liam like the taters!

 Yum yum!

 Horrible picture, but glad to have one anyways.

 

Having kids sure puts a damper on the typical staying up late parties, but we had fun regardless. We just celebrated with Paris so that we could still put our kids to bed on time. Haha!

Ringing in the New Year with some bubbly! 

Laura & her friend Nicole hanging out with us boring folk before they got their party on.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!!!

What better way to start out the New Year then by spending that day at the beach. It was kind of weird to have just been in 30 degree weather just days before & now we are in the sand & sunshine. I kind of like it I'm not going to lie.

I personally found the water to be WAY to cold to swim or even play in so we spent our time playing in the sand.

 Gavin asking Dad if he will bury him....

 Wow! Check out Gavin really long legs & huge....feet?...paws?...I don't know what they are, but we have a satisfied little boy regardless. :)

 

 I am so in love with these boys of mine! This picture just hits the spot ya know? My little beach bums!

So grateful for my little family & the fun they bring to my life. It was a great day & I think it's going to be a great year!
