Heaven on Earth

Christmas vacation in Florida is my favorite 10 days out of the year... a week and a half of laying out in the sun and caching up with family was just what the doctor ordered (this year particularly more than others). Here are a few pictures from 2010's little piece of heaven:

Pool/beach view from our room...


Grocery shopping for Christmas dinner... Dad's classic annoyed face caught on camera. This might have been after I sent him back for smaller marshmallows.


Christmas morning at the hotel before heading to Grandma's...

Not the best, but it's the only family shot we got the whole time we were there...

Breakfast with the fam Christmas morning. My meal isn't what it looks like... so don't judge.

Mom and Grandma with Grandpa's old Christmas aprons... but this is the closest Grandma got to the kitchen all day :)

Mom and me cooking Christmas lunch...

Grandma, Bodie, Aunt Beverly and Uncle Fred hanging out waiting to eat...

Waiting for Christmas lunch... happy camper (?) on Grandma's bed watching Star Wars!

Mom putting the finishing touches on the meal...

Post lunch nap/Lord of the Rings marathon.

LOL on many levels... can anyone spot the 12 year old (Al)? And we banished poor mom to the row behind to wage war against the wasps that were attacking us armed with nothing but the sunscreen spray bottle.

This is pretty much where you could find us all vacation long...

Our view all vacation long...

Celebrity sighting at the pool!!! The guy in the middle of the picture looking up at the kid is Peter Johnson Jr. from Fox News!
Pure happiness.

Katie and I love ruining Dad's attempts at a nice picture of the three of us.... Allison never gets the memo.

I know it's the blurriest picture ever, but just had to include because this is what consumed each night at Grandma's - Donkey Kong on Wii.

Met up with Allison's friends from Wheaton who live in Boca... such a cute little family (the newborn does have a head, we promise).

The countdown until next year has begun... 0 days down, 355 to go.
